Biography
Joan Barry (born Ina Florence Marshman Bell; 5 November 1903 β 10 April 1989) was a British actress, whose career straddled the development of talkies. Born in Carlisle, Cumbria, although some sources claim she was born three years earlier in London, Middlesex, she had her first role at the age of 15. Barry appeared at St James's Theatre, London when seventeen. She memorably dubbed the voice of Anny Ondra in the early Alfred Hitchcock thriller Blackmail (1929). The limited sound technology available at the time meant that Barry had to dub the Czechoslovak actress in real time as she performed the role.Barry appeared on-screen for Hitchcock in Rich and Strange two years later. She continued to appear in a mixture of leading and top supporting roles (most memorably in Rome Express (1932)) until she retired to start a family.
