Patricia Plunkett

Patricia Ruth Plunkett (17 December 1926 – 13 October 1974) was an English actress, born to an Australian WWI soldier, Captain Gunning Francis Plunkett, and Alice Park.

Born in Streatham, London, she trained at RADA and had an early stage hit in Pick-Up Girl (1946) by the American dramatist Elsa Shelley.

Plunkett appeared in 12 films. She was usually in supporting roles, but she was the female lead (with above-the-title billing) in both her 1949 films: Landfall and For Them That Trespass. The best known of her supporting roles is probably It Always Rains on Sunday (1947), in which her character, Doris Sandigate, is the step-daughter of Rose (Googie Withers), the leading role. Her husband was the actor Tim Turner (died 1987).
