Margaret Johnston

Margaret Johnston was an Australianborn British actress. Johnston was best known for her stage performances, but also appeared infilms and a handful of TV productions before retiring from acting in 1968 to devote herself to running a theatrical agency.

Johnston was the second of three daughters born in Australia to English parents. She was educated at the North Sydney Girls High School, then at the University of Sydney where she studied Law. Johnston had shown an interest and aptitude for drama from an early age acting in various school productions before working professionally in Sydneys theatres. It was reported that her oftstated ambition at this time was to move to Europe, to learn her craft, and to lose her accent. In 1936, Johnston travelled to Britain in order to pursue her career. She was accepted as a student by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where she was tutored by Stefan Hock.
