->''"I hope I'm an individual. I suppose an eccentric is a super individual. Perhaps an eccentric is just off-centre - ex-centric. But that contradicts a belief of mine that we've got to be centrifugal."''
Dame Margaret Taylor Rutherford, [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever DBE]], (11 May 1892 -- 22 May 1972), was a British actress best known for playing Miss Marple in the ''Film/MissMarple'' films.
She was raised by her aunt Bessie Nicholson for most of her early life. She was educated at Wimbledon High School where developed an acting, starting when she performed in amateur dramatics. Aunt Bessie paid for her to have private acting lessons after school and in her will left Rutherford a legacy giving her secure entry to the Old Vic School.
Her stage debut at the age of 33 in 1925. Rutherford wasn't seen as right for romantic leads, so she focused on comedy, despite the fact she was surprised that the audience thought her funny at all. An early recognition of her talent came in a 1939 production of ''Theatre/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest'', while her StarMakingRole came when she played Madame Arcati in Creator/NoelCoward's ''Theatre/BlitheSpirit''.
Rutherford once more played Madame Arcati in ''Blithe Spirit'''s [[Film/BlitheSpirit film adaptation]]. Rutherford was a familiar face in British comedy films of the time, racking up roles as SecretKeeper Nurse Carey in ''Film/Miranda1948'', dotty Professor Hatton-Jones in ''Film/PassportToPimlico'', headmistress Miss Whitchurch in ''The Happiest Days of Your Life'', governess Miss Prism in ''Film/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest'', eccentric boarder Miss Nicholson in ''Castle in the Air'', shoplifter Miss Bacon in ''Trouble in Store'', outspoken Cynthia Beeston in ''The Runaway Bus'', Prudence Croquet in ''An Alligator Named Daisy'', Mrs. Dooley in ''Just My Luck'', cashier/bookkeeper Mrs. Fazackalee in ''The Smallest Show on Earth'', and rich Aunt Dolly in ''I'm All Right Jack''.
