It was about 1950 when she began appearing in her father’s films, beginning with his movie Stage Fright. Another one of her well-known roles was in the film Strangers on a Train. She actually spoke to BBC, saying that she was just graduating from the Royal Academy and her father approached her with “a wonderful part” for her in his new film.

“I would have loved it if he had believed in nepotism so that I could have done more pictures with him,” she said at the time, “but he only cast people if he thought they were absolutely right for the part.”
