Margo Woode Movies
Slender brunette leading lady
Margo Woode was signed by 20th Century Fox in 1944. For the next two years, the studio tried to make a star out of Woode by giving her prominent billing in B-pictures. For example, she was billed third after
Stan Laurel and
Oliver Hardy in
The Bullfighters (1945), even though her role was limited to two lines and a handful of close-ups. Her best showing at Fox was in
Joseph Mankiewicz's
Somewhere in the Night (1946), in which she shared several important scenes with
John Hodiak. Dropped by Fox in 1946,
Margo Woode continued showing up in supporting roles into the 1950s; her last film was 1957's
Bop Girl. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
