Jill Bennett
Nora Noel Jill Bennett - who was born on December 24th, 1931, in Penang, Straits Settlements, in what is now Malaysia - was a British actress, and the fourth wife of the playwright John Osborne. After her birth in the British overseas territory, Bennett returned to England as a child with her British parents, where she was educated at Prior's Field School, a girls' independent boarding school in Godalming, Surrey. After training at RADA, Bennett made her stage debut in the 1949 season at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, and her film debut with a small part in the 1951 murder-mystery film The Long Dark Hall starring Rex Harrison. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Bennett - who was then in her late teens and early twenties - was the live-in partner of the American-born British actor, Sir Godfrey Tearle - who was in his sixties. In 1956, she appeared in the American film Lust for Life - starring Kirk Douglas - about the painter Vincent van Gogh; and in 1960 played opposite Stanley Baker in British crime drama, The Criminal.
