- Margaret Scudamore was born Daisy Bertha Mary Scudamore in 1884 in Portsmouth, to Clara (Linington) and William George Scudamore. She was a stage actress from her youth. She met and married the dashing matinee idol Roy Redgrave in 1907 and they had a son Michael Redgrave in 1908. She followed her adventurous husband on tour in Australia, but they separated upon her return to England with her infant son.
Roy Redgrave remained in Australia until his premature death in a Sydney hospital in 1922 aged fifty. Daisy remarried to Captain J.P. Anderson, (who was known as 'Andy') and changed her name to Margaret Scudamore. They had a daughter Peg together. She died in 1958.
She and Roy created an acting dynasty that has lasted four generations. Her son Michael Redgrave became a distinguished actor. Sir Michael's daughters Vanessa Redgrave and Lynn Redgrave and his only son Corin Redgrave, became successful actors. Vanessa's daughters Natasha Richardson and Joely Richardson and her son Carlo Gabriel Nero and Corin's daughter Jemma Redgrave have also continued the tradition with successful acting careers.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Huw Nathan
