In films from 1948, solemn-faced Marianne Stone has probably appeared in more films than any other British actress her age. Though she had a few major roles early on, Stone quickly settled into featured parts and bits, often unbilled. She was equally adept at playing lower-class housewives, harpies, officious shop clerks, and ritzy society reporters. Her Vivian Dankbloom in Stanley Kubrick's Lolita (1962) was one of the few instances in which her character actually had a name. Marianne Stone was married to London show-business columnist Peter Noble. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide less
