Timeline

1960

She was made DBE (Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in the 1960 Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to drama.

1952

The material success of Hollywood played a part in her much deserved honour as Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1952 and her ascension as Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1960.

1950

Flora's film career was marked with a character versatility which had and continued to Mark Precious time for stage work (as in her murderess Ellen Creed in "Ladies in Retirement" (Broadway, 1950).

1949

Another quarter of a century of roles was accented with memorable theatrical performances as Lady Macbeth on Broadway (1949) and as Paulina in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" (1951), production by John Gielgud, to add to a kaleidoscope mix of movies from 1948 to 1981 and a sprinkling of character pieces on British TV, when she retired from the stage in 1969.

Though some British critics were not impressed with her return to Hollywood to play the overly protective mulatto servant of Ingrid Bergman in Saratoga Trunk (1945), it was an outstanding tour-de-force character performance honored with an Oscar nomination.

1941

In 1941, she returned to war-torn London to boldly continue theater performances to a grateful country. After the war, it was a full life of crisscrossing the Atlantic.

1940

Her compelling Elizabeth marked her for a reprise of the role in the Errol Flynn swashbuckler The Sea Hawk (1940) in which she played the role to the hilt.

Among other memorable roles in the late 1940s, even her reflective Anglican Sister Philippa in Powell's visually stunning and provocative Black Narcissus (1947) displays her depth as a solid character actress.

1939

The year 1939 was extremely busy for Robson.

It marked her first association with British director Michael Powell in his The Lion Has Wings (1939) and Smith (1939) and the unsurprising call from Hollywood.

There she was lauded quickly for 2 roles that year: as the domineering wife of Paul Muni in We Are Not Alone (1939) and opposite fellow British stars Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, and David Niven as narrator and housekeeper Ellen Dean in the haunting Wuthering Heights (1939).

1937

Flora even had a place in television history in the pre-WWII British TV production of Anna Christie (1937).

She was a forceful Livia in Josef von Sternberg's ill-fated and unfinished I, Claudius (1937), but gave a hint of her future potential with her rousing Queen Elizabeth I in Alexander Korda's Fire Over England (1937) with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.

1936

Among early screen Elizabeth standouts, Florence Eldridge in Mary of Scotland (1936) resembled the historical queen and the more famous Bette Davis displayed the manner and temperament with her usual command (though it is hard not to feel it's Bette playing her - albeit - brilliant self and not Elizabeth) in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), but Robson seemed to best personify the total person and spirit of 'good Queen Bess'.

1934

She stayed with the Old Vic until 1934, but she was already turning to the film with her debut in A Gentleman of Paris (1931).

Her dexterity as screen monarchs began shortly thereafter as Russian Empress Elisabeth in The Rise of Catherine the Great (1934).

1931

By 1931 she was in residence at the Old Vic with as varied roles as Herodias in "Salome" (1931), a drunken prostitute in Bridie's "The Anatomist", Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth in "Macbeth", and Gwendolen in "The Importance of Being Earnest" (both in 1933).

1930

Flora Robson knew she was no beauty, but her wise and sympathetic face would become a familiar - indeed, shining - ornament of the 1930s and 40s silver screen. Though not sure of acting as a career in her early years, she first appeared on stage when 5 years old.

1929

In 1929 a friend urged her to join the Cambridge Festival Theatre where she remained two years.

1921

She was educated at Palmer's Green High School and went on still in her teens to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, winning a Bronze Medal in 1921.

Between 1921-23 she performed in London and Oxford, but both uncertainty and the unstable income of acting convinced her to spend the next few years working at a factory welfare officer in east London. Still, her versatility, even in her youth, as a budding character actress of the first water, was noticed.

1891

Sister to John (1891-1963), Eliza (1893-1975), Helen (1895-1929), Margaret (1898-1985), David (1900-1958) and Sheila (1907-1984). All were born in South Shields, Durham with the exception of the youngest, who was born in Edmonton, Middlesex.

1864

Daughter of David (1864-1947), born in Dundee, Scotland, and Eliza (née McKenzie) Robson (1870-1935), born in South Shields, England.

1836

Paternal granddaughter of Hugh (1836-1907), born in Kirkpatrick Durham, Scotland, and Helen (née Mather) Robson (1836-1921), born in Montrose, Scotland.
