Megs Jenkins Biography

Megs Jenkins began alternating between the British stage and the British screen in 1933. A pleasant-faced lady of motherly demeanor, Jenkins made a good living playing characters well beyond her real age throughout the 1940s. One of her best, and least typical, roles during this period was as the luckless Nurse Woods in the classic murder mystery Green for Danger (1946). Megs Jenkins was just as impressive 20 years later in the role of Mrs. Bedwin in the mammoth musical Oliver (1968). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
