Rosalie Crutchley Movies
On stage since age 17, British actress
Rosalie Crutchley established her predilection for gloomy, tragic roles early on. She set a precedent for her film career by being killed off halfway through her first film
Take My Life (1948). Slight, dark and sharp-featured, Rosalie found herself typed as mystery women, wronged wives and sinister housekeepers; among her best film assignments were
A Tale of Two Cities (1958) (as Madame LeFarge), and
The Return (1974). Like many "pigeonholed" film actors and actresses, Rosalie Crutchley enjoyed a wider range of roles on stage and in TV. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
