Please Rewind Talent Wall

Barbara Hicks

Barbara Hicks was an English actor whose work included film acting. Born in Heath Town on 12 August 1924, she lived until 2013. With no Barbara Hicks films currently connected to Please Rewind, this profile begins with the clear outline of her screen identity rather than trying to fill the gaps with unsupported detail. Hicks is recorded both as an actor and, more specifically, as a film actor, placing her firmly within the screen tradition celebrated by the Talent Wall. That concise record offers the essential starting point: an English performer, born in Heath Town, whose life stretched from 1924 to 2013 and whose professional association was acting for film. It is a modest outline, but an honest one. For an actor profile, the movies and performances should do the real work; until individual titles are represented here, Hicks is best introduced without speculation about roles, career milestones or off-screen life. Barbara Hicks therefore takes her place on the Talent Wall as an English film actress whose screen career warrants recognition, even when the available details remain spare. Her profile can serve as a doorway to the films themselves as they become part of Please Rewind’s coverage.
