The latter film brought her to the attention of Hollywood, and she went on to appear opposite the era's biggest stars, including Robert Mitchum, David Niven, Stewart Granger and Spencer Tracy - and to work with many top directors, including John Huston, Otto Preminger and Elia Kazan.
She made two memorable appearances in films by British directing duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger - in three roles as the hero's love interests in 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' (1943), then as sister superior to a group of nuns facing temptation in the Himalayas in the fantastical 'Black Narcissus' (1947).
