About Tucker McGuire
Lived 1912 – 1988 (aged 75–76). Tucker McGuire was an American actor and film actor.
Anne Tucker McGuire (January 29, 1913 – August 3, 1988) was an American-born actress who appeared largely in British films and television. She married actor Tom Macaulay.
She appeared in the 1949 West End musical Her Excellency.
In 1952 she played Patrick Barr's assistant and secretary in the seven-part British television series, Inspector Morley: Late of Scotland Yard, which also starred Dorothy Bramhall; Arthur Howard; Tod Slaughter; and Johnny Briggs.
In 1958, she appeared as Margaret "Molly" Brown in the film A Night to Remember, about the infamous ocean liner Titanic, in which she insisted Lifeboat No 6 should turn round to help rescue passengers, appealing to the other women to "Come on, girls. Row!" According to director Roy Ward Baker, McGuire was the only cast member who caused him any trouble on the film, describing her as "ornery," and saying "I don't know what got into her."
