Carol Marsh (born Norma Lilian Simpson; 10 May 1926 – 6 March 2010) was an English film actress known for winning the part of Rose in the film Brighton Rock (1947) after thousands auditioned for the part.
She was twenty one when she made the film, but told Nigel Richardson that she had an emotional age of about ten, and was 'preyed upon' during the filming: ‘People were very, very cruel.
Why didn’t they just leave me alone?....I’ve never seen the film and I couldn’t bear to….All I’ve seen are when I’ve been sitting at home and clips come on the TV.
I was riveted by one shot of me running down the Pier and saying ‘Pinkie!’ I thought, My God what a sweet little girl.
So naturally sweet.’She trained at the Rank Organisation's "charm school".
Other notable film roles include appearing as Fan Scrooge, the ill-fated sister of Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim), in Scrooge (1951), Alice in a French-made version of Alice in Wonderland (1949), Susan Graham in Helter Skelter (1949), and as Lucy in the first Hammer version of Dracula (1958), alongside Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.
