Hilary Lavender Mason (4 September 1917 – 5 September 2006) was an English character actress who appeared in a wide variety of roles, mainly on UK television.[1][2]
Mason was born in Birmingham and trained at the London School of Dramatic Art, before performing with repertory theatres throughout Britain.[2][3] She is probably best known internationally for her performance as the blind psychic Heather in Nicolas Roeg's film Don't Look Now.[2][4]
Mason had the starring role in Mistress of Hardwick, a 10-part BBC series broadcast in 1972, which followed the life of Bess of Hardwick. Most of the episodes are now lost.[5]
She appeared in "Gunfight at the O.K. Laundrette", the pilot episode of ITV's critically acclaimed drama Minder.[6]
She also made regular appearances in Z-Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, and made an appearance in Ripping Yarns.[7]
In the 1985 BBC serial ‘’Miss Marple’’: The Moving Finger, she appeared as Emily Barton. In 1986 she appeared as Mrs Gummidge in the BBC series David Copperfield.[7][1] Mason appeared in an episode of Juliet Bravo as Mrs Unwin in an episode called "Friends and Neighbours".[8]
In later years Mason appeared as Gladys in the popular children's TV show Maid Marian and her Merry Men.[9] One of her last roles was in the children's programme Aquila.[1]
