Geraldine Fitzgerald was an Irish-born American actress. She achieved two significant successes in 1939:

she received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Isabella,

wife of Laurence Olivier's Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and had an important role in the Bette

Davis tear-jerker Dark Victory. Her career was stymied by a rebellious streak, but she matured into a

 character actress appearing in a wide variety of quality films, among them, Ten North Frederick (1958), 

The Pawnbroker (1964), Harry and Tonto (1974), Arthur (1981).
