Lanchester married Laughton in 1929, and one of
her first screen appearances was opposite him in
The Private Life of Henry VIII (as a highly
comical Anne of Cleves).  This and other
appearances in British films helped her gain the
title role in Bride of Frankenstein (1935).  She
continued to appear with her husband, for example
in Rembrandt (1936), but never made a name as a
female lead, mainly due to her lack of
conventional beauty.

Following Laughton's death in 1962, Lanchester
continued to act, making occasional film
appearances such as the departing nanny, Katie
Nanna, in the opening scenes of Mary Poppins, and
a sleuth in the 1976 Agatha Christie spoof, Murder
by Death.
