Susan Stephen: Married Life - Pathe News (1953)

  • 6 months ago
A lovely clip from Pathe News documenting Susan Stephen's early married life to actor Lawrence Ward in Buckinghamshire, and with sound too! It's a nice revealing clip of domestic life of the couple, and includes Lawrence bringing up a cup of tea to Susan in bed, who clearly does not believe in pyjamas, judging by this clip! They met when working on Fanciulle di lusso (aka Finishing School) in 1952, but sadly the marriage would only last 3 years, and Susan's own career was never really the same after the divorce in 1956 and her 2nd marriage to director Nicolas Roeg the following year.

A Pathe News finds, which I came across on Youtube. Without a Youtube account now, I wasn't able to ask to upload these here, but the video and the original channel from which these came from - British Pathe - can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVKmuAD-X4w. I will be attempting to upload all the films and TV stuff Susan Stephen did that's available onto here. However, not all can as some - such as The House Across the Lake and Carry on Nurse - have been blocked and even compliation clips have been blocked. So I will upload what I can here, with a note that an album of her work can be found on the site ok.ru. Just type in Susan Stephen and it should pop up.
