EDITORS COMMENTS
Grace, elegance, and charm radiate from this portrait of Lady Forwood, née Mary Gwendoline Foster, on the cover of The Tatler magazine in November 1936. At the time, Lady Forwood was known by various titles - Viscountess Ratendone, having been the former wife of the 2nd Marquess of Willingdon, Viscount Ratendone, Frederick Cullingford; and Lady Forwood, wife of Sir Dudley Forwood, 3rd Baronet. Born into an aristocratic family, Lady Forwood's life was a fascinating blend of high society, acting, and marriage to influential men. Her first marriage to the Marquess of Willingdon, who was also a Marquess of Headfort and a Governor-General of Canada, ended in divorce. Her second marriage was to Sir Dudley Forwood, a renowned racehorse owner and Conservative politician. The portrait, taken in 1936, showcases Lady Forwood's timeless beauty and poise. Her striking features, accentuated by her elegant hairstyle and fashionable attire, evoke the glamour and sophistication of the 1930s aristocracy. Her expressive eyes and enchanting smile captivate the viewer, making this image a true testament to her allure and charisma. Lady Forwood's acting career began in the early 1920s, and she appeared in several films, including "The Constant Nymph" (1928) and "The Divorce of Lady X" (1938). Her talent and charm on the silver screen further solidified her place in the annals of high society and Hollywood. This evocative image of Lady Forwood on the cover of The Tatler magazine serves as a reminder of a bygone era, where aristocratic charm and glamour reigned supreme. The portrait's enduring appeal continues to captivate and inspire, making it a cherished piece of history in the annals of fashion, society, and cinema.
