Biography
British leading lady Joan Gardner began supplementing her stage income with film roles in 1932, showing up in such quickies as
Men of Tomorrow (1932) and
Wedding Rehearsal (1932). Looking smashing in period costumes, Gardner was seen in the larger-budgeted
Catherine the Great (1934) and
The Private Life of Don Juan (1934). Perhaps her best screen assignment was as the lady friend of Roland Young in the 1937 fantasy
The Man Who Could Work Miracles (1937). Joan Gardner retired from films in 1939 upon marrying producer/director Zoltan Korda. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
