Margaret Towner
Actress
97 years (Jan 1, 1920 – Apr 10, 2017)Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
By any commercial measure, Margaret Towner is a major actress whose most-seen work travels far past its home market. Adventure is where most of the work sits. It has taken 28 years to build the position she now occupies. Jira in 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace' is the role that turned into a reference point. There is 'Derek' as well. None of this was obvious back in 1998.
