Born in Birmingham, England, Hazel Court carried on a love affair with
the world of movies and make-believe that made her a leading student at
her hometown's School of Drama and later helped her land a contract
with the J. Arthur Rank Organisation. Graduating from bits to
supporting roles to leads, Court worked in English films from the
mid-'40s until the early 1960s, when she relocated to Hollywood. The
flame-haired Court was married to Irish actor
Dermot Walsh before she married American
actor-director Don Taylor.
