- Pamela Mary Brown (8 July 1917 – 19 September 1975) was an English stage and film actress. She was born in Hampstead, London to George Edward Brown, a journalist, and his wife, Helen Blanche Ellerton. After attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she made her stage debut in 1936 as Juliet in a Stratford-upon-Avon production of Romeo and Juliet. Three of her early film roles were in Powell and Pressburger films: her first screen part in One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942), a memorable supporting role in I Know Where I'm Going! (1945), and in the fantasy film-opera The Tales of Hoffmann (1951). She also appeared as a bitter spinster in Personal Affair, starring Gene Tierney (1953). From the early 1950s, her arthritic condition (first appearing when she was sixteen), began to make playing on the stage difficult; her mobility was restricted and she was in great pain, which was kept at bay by drugs. Nevertheless, she was a notable success as Jennet in the London production of The Lady's Not For Burning, opposite Richard Burton and John Gielgud (1949), which transferred to Broadway for an extended run (1950–1951). Time magazine wrote (20 November 1950): "As the lady, Pamela Brown proves that Fry did not write the part for her in vain. No one has a more gloriously uppity charm; no voice can simultaneously so rasp and thrill; no one ever made standoffishness more come-hitherable. " Her success in film continued as Jane Shore in Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955) and opposite Kirk Douglas in the Van Gogh biopic Lust for Life (1956). Highlights of her 1960s work include the epic Cleopatra (1963), Becket (1964) and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966). By and large though, her later film roles were not as distinctive as her stage work. In February 1953, she divorced her husband, Peter Copley. She would later live with Michael Powell, the director who had given her her early film roles. They were together happily until her death from pancreatic cancer in 1975, aged 58, in Avening, Gloucestershire. She was buried in Holy Cross churchyard, Avening.
- Pamela Mary Brown var en engelsk skuespillerinne, som jobbet både for film og i teater. Hun ble født i Hampstead i London av George Edward Brown, en journalist, og hans hustru, Helen Blanche Ellerton. Etter å ha gått på teaterskolen Royal Academy of Dramatic Art debuterte hun på scenen i 1936 som Juliet i stykket Romeo og Juliet, en produksjon av Stratford-upon-Avon- Tre av hennes tidligste filmer var Powell og Pressburger-filmer: hennes første film var i One of Our Aircraft is Missing; en minneverdig støtterolle i I Know Where I'm Going!; og fantasiballetten The Tales of Hoffmann. Fra begynnelsen av 1950-tallet gjorde hennes problemer med leddgikt, som hadde begynt da hun var 16 år gammel, det vanskelig å jobbe i teateret da hun hadde store smerter når hun bevegde seg og hun måtte bruke smertestillende. Uansett var hun betydelig suksess som Jennet i London-oppsetningen av The Lady's Not For Burning sammen med Richard Burton og John Gielgud, som siden ble satt opp på Broadway med den samme besetningen . Time skrev den 20. november 1950: «Som lady beviser Pamela Brown at Fry ikke skrev rollen for henne forgjeves. Ingen har en mer strålende kjepphøy sjarme; ingen stemme kan samtidig være så grov og gjennombevende; ingen annen har noen gang gjort det utilnærmelige mer nærværende». Hennes suksess i filmen fortsatte som Jane Shore i Laurence Oliviers Richard III og sammen med Kirk Douglas i Vincent Van Gogh-biografien Lust for Life. Høydepunkter i hennes arbeid på 1960-tallet var blant annet Cleopatra, Becket og A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I det store og hele var hennes senere filmer ikke så særegent som det hun gjorde for scenen. I februar 1953 skilte hun seg fra sin ektemann Peter Copley og som en hengiven katolikk kunne hun ikke gifte seg igjen. Hun levde senere sammen med Michael Powell, regissøren som hadde gitt henne de første filmrollene. De levde lykkelig sammen inntil hun døde av kreft i 1975, 58 år gammel, i Avening i Gloucestershire. Hun ble gravlagt i kirkegården Holy Cross i Avening
