Taylor first became known when she won a beauty pageant at a young age and this led to parts in musical comedies on stage, including *[The Cabaret Girl](/source/The_Cabaret_Girl)* (1922), in which she was billed as simply "Enid Taylor". She progressed to film, appearing in [Alfred Hitchcock](/source/Alfred_Hitchcock)'s *[Easy Virtue](/source/Easy_Virtue_(1928_film))* (1928),[4] *[Queen of Hearts](/source/Queen_of_Hearts_(1936_film))* (1934), and *[The Wicked Lady](/source/The_Wicked_Lady)* (1945).[5] The Stamp part of her name was included as a middle name; it was her grandmother's maiden name. Taylor married Sidney Colton and they had a daughter called Robin Anne[6] who was born in 1933.[7] Her marriage to Colton was dissolved in 1936.[8] On 9 January 1946 she fell in the bathroom of her Park Lane flat and suffered a fractured skull.[9] She was unconscious for three days; she woke briefly following two operations at St George's Hospital in Tooting to remove a blood clot to her brain, but died on the 13 January,[8] two months after the release of her penultimate film, *The Wicked Lady*.[10] An inquest found that the cause of death was a stroke, which caused her fall and the subsequent skull fracture.[11] ## Partial filmography - *[Land of Hope and Glory](/source/Land_of_Hope_and_Glory_(film))* (1927) - Jane - *[Easy Virtue](/source/Easy_Virtue_(1928_film))* (1928) - Sarah - *[A Little Bit of Fluff](/source/A_Little_Bit_of_Fluff_(1928_film))* (1928) - Susie West - *[Yellow Stockings](/source/Yellow_Stockings)* (1928) - Nellie Jackson - *[Cocktails](/source/Cocktails_(film))* (1928) - Betty - *[The Broken Melody](/source/The_Broken_Melody_(1929_film))* (1929) - Gloria - *[Meet My Sister](/source/Meet_My_Sister)* (1933) - Lulu Marsoc - *[A Political Party](/source/A_Political_Party)* (1934) - Elvira Whitman - *[Gay Love](/source/Gay_Love)* (1934) - Marie Hopkins - *[Virginia's Husband](/source/Virginia's_Husband_(1934_film))* (1934) - June Haslett - *[The Feathered Serpent](/source/The_Feathered_Serpent_(1934_film))* (1934) - Ella Crewe - *[Radio Pirates](/source/Radio_Pirates)* (1935) (also known as 'Big Ben Calling')[12] - Enid - *[So You Won't Talk](/source/So_You_Won't_Talk_(1935_film))* (1935) - Pauline - *[Mr. What's-His-Name?](/source/Mr._What's-His-Name%3F)* (1935) - Corinne Henfield - *[Jimmy Boy](/source/Jimmy_Boy)* (1935) - The Star - *[While Parents Sleep](/source/While_Parents_Sleep_(film))* (1935) - Lady Cattering - *[Two Hearts in Harmony](/source/Two_Hearts_in_Harmony)* (1935) - Sheila - *[Queen of Hearts](/source/Queen_of_Hearts_(1936_film))* (1936) - Yvonne - *[Blind Man's Bluff](/source/Blind_Man's_Bluff_(1936_film))* (1936) - Sylvia Fairfax - *[House Broken](/source/House_Broken_(1936_film))* (1936) - Cousin Carrie - *[Keep Your Seats, Please](/source/Keep_Your_Seats%2C_Please)* (1936) - Madame Louise - *[Take a Chance](/source/Take_a_Chance_(1937_film))* (1937) - Cicely Burton - *[Action for Slander](/source/Action_for_Slander)* (1937) - Jenny - *[Underneath the Arches](/source/Underneath_the_Arches_(film))* (1937) - Dolores - *[Feather Your Nest](/source/Feather_Your_Nest)* (1937) - Daphne Randall - *[O-Kay for Sound](/source/O-Kay_for_Sound)* (1937) - Jill Smith - Secretary - *[Talking Feet](/source/Talking_Feet)* (1937) - Sylvia Shirley - *[Stepping Toes](/source/Stepping_Toes)* (1938) - Mrs. Warrington - *[Climbing High](/source/Climbing_High)* (1938) - Winnie - *[Old Iron](/source/Old_Iron)* (1938) - Eileen Penshaw - *[Blondes for Danger](/source/Blondes_for_Danger)* (1938) - Valerie - *[The Lambeth Walk](/source/The_Lambeth_Walk_(film))* (1939) - Jacqueline - *[The Girl Who Forgot](/source/The_Girl_Who_Forgot)* (1940) - Caroline Tonbridge - *[Spring Meeting](/source/Spring_Meeting)* (1941) - Tiny Fox-Collier - *[The Farmer's Wife](/source/The_Farmer's_Wife_(1941_film))* (1941) - Mary Hearne - *[South American George](/source/South_American_George)* (1941) - Frances Martinique - *[Hatter's Castle](/source/Hatter's_Castle_(film))* (1942) - Nancy - *[Alibi](/source/Alibi_(1942_film))* (1942) - Dany - *[Candlelight in Algeria](/source/Candlelight_in_Algeria)* (1944) - Maritza - *[The Wicked Lady](/source/The_Wicked_Lady)* (1945) - Lady Kingsclere - *[Caravan](/source/Caravan_(1946_film))* (1946) - Bertha (final film role) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Search Results for England & Wales Births 1837-2006"](http://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/world-records/england-and-wales-births-1837-2006?firstname=enid%20s&lastname=taylor&eventyear=1904&eventyear_offset=0). 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["Search Results for England & Wales Deaths 1837-2007"](http://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/world-records/england-and-wales-deaths-1837-2007?firstname=enid%20g%20s&lastname=taylor&eventyear=1946&eventyear_offset=2&yearofbirth=1904&yearofbirth_offset=1). 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** ["Enid Stamp-Taylor"](https://web.archive.org/web/20161220031905/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9f461181).
