Biography
Tunstall, Staffordshire, greeted the arrival of Haidee Wright on 13 January 1867, and from that modest pottery-town beginning she would carve out a life on stage and screen. Audiences of the 1920s remember her quicksilver presence in *The Cabaret Kid* (1926), her tender gravity in *Aunt Rachel* (1920) and the wry charm she brought to *Paddy the Next Best Thing* (1923). Sixteen days after her seventy-sixth birthday, on 29 January 1943, she drew her final breath in Hendon, Middlesex, leaving behind a quiet legacy etched in celluloid and memory.
