Biography

Barbara Everest entame sa carrière d'actrice au théâtre et joue souvent à Londres, notamment dans des pièces de William Shakespeare, comme Le Marchand de Venise en 1928, avec Eric Portman. Citons également Orgueil et Préjugés, d'après le roman éponyme de Jane Austen (1936, avec Celia Johnson et Anthony Quayle), ainsi qu’Homme et Surhomme de George Bernard Shaw (1951, avec Allan Cuthbertson et Milton Rosmer).

Elle se produit aussi à Broadway (New York) dans trois pièces, Anne of England (1941, avec Leo G. Carroll, Flora Robson, Jessica Tandy et Frederick Worlock), Sheppey de William Somerset Maugham (1944, avec Edmund Gwenn) et enfin The Linden Tree de John Boynton Priestley (1948, avec Boris Karloff et Una O'Connor).

Au cinéma, elle apparaît d'abord dans quatorze films muets britanniques jusqu'en 1922. Les deux premiers, réalisés par George Loane Tucker et sortis en 1916, sont The Hypocrites (avec Elisabeth Risdon) et The Man Without a Soul (avec Milton Rosmer).

Ses cinq premiers films parlants sortent en 1932, dont Meurtres de Maurice Elvey (avec Ivor Novello et Elizabeth Allan). Parmi ses films britanniques suivants, mentionnons Madeleine de David Lean (1950, avec Ann Todd et Norman Wooland) et Les Damnés de Joseph Losey (son antépénultième film, 1963, avec Macdonald Carey et Shirley Ann Field). Le dernier est Rotten to the Core de John Boulting (avec Charlotte Rampling et Eric Sykes), sorti en 1965.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle participe à quelques films américains sortis entre 1942 et 1945, dont Le Fantôme de l'Opéra d'Arthur Lubin (1943, avec Nelson Eddy et Claude Rains) et Hantise de George Cukor (1944, avec Charles Boyer et Ingrid Bergman).

Pour la télévision naissante, Barbara Everest joue dans les adaptations téléfilmées de onze pièces en 1938 et 1939, dont Orgueil et Préjugés (1938, avec Mervyn Johns et André Morell) ; s'y ajoute une douzième en 1946, Frieda (suivie de l'adaptation au cinéma sous le même titre, sortie en 1947). Puis elle collabore à dix séries dès 1950, la dernière étant Z-Cars, avec un épisode diffusé en 1964.
