I appreciate the residents and the county council have probably not heard of Greer Garson, but during Hollywood’s golden era she was nominated for an Oscar several times and won best actress for her leading role in the classic Mrs Miniver, which was made in 1942.
Previously, Greer had a role in the famous Goodbye Mr Chips opposite Robert Donat, and that launched her film stardom.
Oddly, Greer went on to marry the young actor Richard Ney, who played her son in Mrs Miniver, but the marriage did not last.
I picked her name for the building as she had made the sequel to Mrs Miniver at the old MGM Studio in Borehamwood in 1950.
I do, especially for his roles in the classic How Green Was My Valley in 1941, Mrs Miniver, and Forbidden Planet in 1956.
