Jill Esmond, a talented actress, was born on January 26, 1908, in the vibrant city of London, England, United Kingdom. Her journey in the world of cinema began when she was just 23 years old, making her debut in the 1931 film "The Skin Game". This marked the start of her successful career, with three more films following suit that same year.
The following year, Jill continued to impress audiences with her performances, appearing in five more films. One notable role was in the 1932 film "State's Attorney", where she played the character "Lillian Ulrich". Her personal life was also taking shape, as she had married the renowned actor Laurence Olivier in 1930. This might have contributed to her brief hiatus from the film industry between 1934 and 1941, as she focused on her marital obligations.
However, after her divorce from Olivier in 1940, Jill returned to her passion for acting, starring in the 1942 film "Random Harvest". That year, she appeared in five more films, although her pace had slowed slightly compared to her earlier years. Jill's final film was released in 1955, titled "A Man Called Peter".
Jill Esmond's life came full circle when she passed away on July 28, 1990, at the age of 82, back in her beloved city of London.
