Biography
Her early career studio-guided by the Rank Organisation's charm school, British actress Jane Hylton graduated from her "ingenue" period early on. Discounting inconsequential roles in such programmers as
Girl in a Million (1947) and
Here Come the Huggetts (1949), Hylton distinguished herself with excellent performances in
Passport to Pimlico (1950),
Dance Hall (1950),
It Started in Paradise (1952) and
The Weak and the Wicked (1953). But Jane's suffering screen character began to wear on '50s audiences who wanted light entertainment, thus by 1956 she was available to play Queen Guinevere on the popular TV series Sir Lancelot. Jane Hylton's final film appearances were in such '70s productions as
The Wild Geese (1978). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
