Diana Napier

Alice Mary Wolkowicka (née Ellis; formerly Mulcaster and Tauber; 31 January 1905 – 12 March 1982), known professionally as Diana Napier, was an English film actress. She appeared in British cinema during the 1930s and 1940s, often in comedic or light dramatic roles, and gained public attention through her marriage to the tenor Richard Tauber, with whom she occasionally appeared on screen. Napier featured in a number of popular films of the period, including Brewster's Millions (1935), [Invitation to the Waltz (film)]] (1935), and Land Without Music (1936), which helped establish her as a familiar figure in British entertainment.

Following Tauber’s death in 1948, Napier continued to work intermittently in film and theatre, while also managing aspects of his musical legacy. In her later years she largely withdrew from public life. She died in London in 1982 at the age of 77.
