Thelma Grigg

Thelma Grigg was an Australian actress. She was first hired as an extra for Cinesound Productions in 1937. She made her stage debut in a 1939 production of "The Women" by Clare Boothe Luce at the Minerva Theatre, Sydney. She subsequently appeared in over 25 plays. Her first significant film role was in "That Certain Something", directed by Clarence G. Badger in 1941. After playing the lead in the Minerva Theatre production of Ayn Rand's "Night of January 16th" in 1944, she moved to radio, starring in radio plays for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. In 1947 she appeared in her last Australian film, the popular children's comedy "Bush Christmas".
After "Bush Christmas", Grigg moved to England in a largely unsuccessful effort to further her movie career. She landed minor roles in the 1949 films "Christopher Columbus" and "Train of Events". In 1950 she returned to the stage with Robertson Hare in the West End production of Vernon Sylvaine's "Will Any Gentleman...?" That same year she appeared in her last known movie role, in the comedy "The Lady Craved Excitement".
