She also played the mother in the film Spring and Port Wine with James Mason. I remember her in Spring and Port Wine, it was filmed in Bolton, it had Diana Coupland (Leeds) James Mason (Huddersfield) & Rodney Bewes (Bradford) so quite a Yorkshire contingent for a Lancashire play.

This lady does not appear to feature on Secret Leeds so I am submitting her for the 'Famous Daughters' thread. She is Florrie Baldwin and has her own Wikipedia page. Here it is....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florrie_Baldwin114! Maybe it's something in the Aire.
