Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rachel Thomas (10 February 1905 - 8 February 1995), was a Welsh character actress, well-known to film and television audiences. Born in the village of Alltwen, near Pontardawe, Wales, she appeared in such classic films as The Proud Valley (1940) with Paul Robeson, Blue Scar (1949) and Tiger Bay (1959). In 1943, she appeared as Maria Petrovitch in the Ealing war movie Undercover (film), an account of the guerrilla resistance movement in Yugoslavia during World War II. She almost always played the stereotypical Welsh mother (or grandmother in her later years) and appeared on both Welsh- and English-language television. In 1968 she was awarded the OBE for her services to Wales. She died two days before her 90th birthday following a fall in her home.
