Biography

Arthur Margetson, a celebrated and accomplished British thespian, made his grand entrance into the world on April 27, 1897, in the prestigious and storied neighborhood of Marylebone, London, England, United Kingdom, a country steeped in rich history and cultural heritage.

Throughout the duration of his illustrious acting career, Margetson had the distinction of appearing in a wide range of notable films, including the 1936 cinematic production of "Juggernaut", a thrilling and action-packed adventure that captivated audiences worldwide.

In addition to his work on "Juggernaut", Margetson also had the privilege of starring in the 1943 cinematic adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective novel, "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death", a film that brought the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes to life in a way that was both faithful to the original source material and innovative in its approach.

Furthermore, Margetson's impressive acting repertoire also included the 1936 comedy "A Clown Must Laugh", a lighthearted and humorous film that showcased his ability to seamlessly transition between dramatic and comedic roles, further solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile actor.

Throughout the entirety of his existence, Margetson was fortunate enough to have entered into the bonds of matrimony on three separate occasions, initially with the lovely Barbara Joyce Wood, followed by the charming Shirley Grey, and ultimately with the captivating Vera Lennox.
