| Biography (TMDB): | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Dorothy Anne Todd (24 January 1907, Hartford, Cheshire – 6 May 1993, London) was an English actress and producer. She was born in Hartford, Cheshire and was educated at St. Winifrid's School, Eastbourne. She became a popular actress from appearing in such films as Perfect Strangers (1945) (as a nurse) and The Seventh Veil (1945) (as a troubled concert pianist). She is perhaps best known to American audiences as Gregory Peck's long-suffering wife in Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case (1947). She later produced a series of travel films. Her autobiography is entitled The Eighth Veil, an allusion to the film which made her a star in Britain. Todd was known as the "pocket Garbo" for her diminutive, blond beauty.

Movies
Taste of Fear

smokingsides
Three notable scenes. Two where Todd smokes (both light up scenes) and another where she takes a cigarette from a box but gets interrupted before she can light it. She looks good in this one and even better holding a cigarette, however the scenes are disappointing. The lighting isn't great and we see little in the way of drags and exhales. During one scene, however, the camera shows a close-up of Todd at the end of a nose exhale, which is kind of nice. Stasburg is beautiful but sadly doesn't smoke. Todd's character is intriguing because she plays a doting stepmother who initially comes across as semi-wholesome (though her character becomes more complex as the movie progresses), so the fact she smokes is an interesting contrast to her character. The movie is a nice little, atmospheric thriller that is worth seeing, even if the smoking isn't quite what it could be. |
The Paradine Case

smokingsides
One scene where both actresses [Todd, Tetzel] smoke together. Todd plays the non-smoker, while Tetzel uses a holder and has a nice style. |
