British postcard in the Film Partners Series, London, no. P 285. Photo: Sam Goldwyn. Merle Oberon and David Niven in Wuthering Heights (William Wyler, 1939).
Indian-born British actress Merle Oberon (1911-1979) had her breakthrough as Anna Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933). She played leading roles in such British films as The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), before she travelled to Hollywood to star in the classics The Dark Angel (1935) and Wuthering Heights (1939).
British Academy Award-winning actor David Niven (1910-1983) impersonated the archetypal English gentleman, witty, naturally charming, and immaculate in dress and behaviour, but he also had a dash of light-hearted sexual roguishness. He is probably best known for his role as the punctuality-obsessed adventurer Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days (1956).
