Margaret

Lindsay (born Margaret

Kies, September 19, 1910 – May 9, 1981) was an American film actress. Her

time as a Warner Bros. contract player during the 1930s

was particularly productive. She was noted for her supporting work in

successful films of the 1930s and 1940s such as Jezebel

(1938) and Scarlet Street (1945) and her leading roles

in lower-budgeted B movie films such as the Ellery Queen

series at Columbia in the early 1940s. Critics regard her portrayal of

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Hepzibah Pyncheon in the 1940 film adaptation of The House of the Seven Gables

as Lindsay's standout career role.
