Cover Personality
Janette Scott
Film children are not always attractive types. The very nature of their employment militates against that natural charm which is one of childhood’s sweetest enchantments. One can think of many youngsters whose unamiable qualities penetrate through the screen to make us thankful that we do not have to deal with them in real life !
However, there are also some very likeable children working for the screen and usually they are to be found among the professional families. Little Janette Scott, for example, is the daughter of that line character
actress Tliora Hird, and she has been brought up to the smell of the stage and screen, so to say.
Janette first came to our notice for her excellent work in No Place For Jennifer, where her heartrending performance as the child whose parents were divorced did much to lift that film out of the rut which its story and treatment otherwise merited. She has recently been seen in The Galloping Major, a delightful comedy in the Ealing Studio style in which Janette plays the young daughter to Basil Radford.
She has a part in the Festival of Britain film, The Magic Box, the story of Freize-Greene, the inventor of moving pictures.
Janette came to the Y.C.W. Premiere of the Sorcier du Ciel film last October. She is a pleasant and unaffected little girl off screen and with her mother’s wise professional and maternal skill to guide her she should make a place for herself among the few child players who have matured into accomplished grown-up artists.
