Betty Box
Born in Beckenham, Kent, England, Betty Box initially planned to be a commercial artist or journalist.[1] She entered the motion picture industry in 1942, joining her brother Sydney and his wife, director Muriel Box at Verity Films, where she helped produce more than 200 wartime propaganda shorts.[4][5] While tight budgets and shooting schedules compromised the quality of some of them, others – such as When the Bough Breaks (1947) – proved to be among the most politically interesting films of the period.[7] The comedies contained a wacky irreverence which clearly struck a chord with contemporary audiences and helped to make stars of the young Dirk Bogarde and Donald Sinden.Comedy is more of an instinctive thing.Betty Box was married to Peter Rogers, producer of the Carry On film series, from 24 December 1948 until her death.
