Early years
Todd was born in Hartford, Cheshire. Despite later claiming to have been born in 1909, 1911 census results show she was born in 1907 and christened in March 1907. Thomas, a Scottish-born man, was a salesman, and Constance, a London-born mother, was a housewife. She had a younger brother Harold Brooke (who took their mother's maiden name) and then became a screenwriter for light comedies.
Todd was educated at St. Winifrid's School, Eastbourne, Sussex, after the family had migrated to London. She studied speech preparation and drama at the Central School of Speech and Drama, then based at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with the intention of becoming a drama instructor. During her studies, she made her stage debut as a princess in "The Land of Heart's Desire" at the Arts Theatre Club in Soho and then moved on to pursue a career in acting.
Personal life
"I'm really shy, and I get over the act of playing an actress," Todd said of herself.
Todd has married three times. Victor N. Malcolm, her first husband, was a grandson of Lillie Langtry; she had a son named David Malcolm. They were her second and third husbands (Nigel Tangye and David Lean) and first cousins. Ann Francesca Tangye, she had a daughter with Nigel Tangye, named Ann Francesca Tangye. On March 12, 1949, she was divorced from Tangye.
Todd married film director Lean on May 21, 1949, and starred in three of his films: The Passionate Friends (1949), Madeleine (1950), and The Sound Barrier (1952). On July 15, 1957, Lean and Todd divorced.
Later career
Todd retired from acting after co-starring in Ninety Degrees in the Shade in 1965, only returning from acting to fund her new venture directing a number of travel films. The Eighth Veil is her autobiography, an allusion to the film that made her a British actress. Todd was known as the "pocket Garbo" for her diminutive, blonde beauty.
