Margaret Ford (born Margaret McClure Campbell, 1916 - 2010) was South African-born Australian stage and screen actress. From a very early age Margaret was a natural per- former. As a plucky child of four, she would demand to stand on a table and recite in front of the class at the local school, which was run by her uncle. At six, she took up dancing and decided to pursue a career on the stage. After completing school, Margaret trained as a speech teacher and in 1939 travelled to England to study acting at Citizen House Theatre in Bath. When World War II began, Margaret returned to South Africa and became a military nurse. For five years she served in South Africa, Egypt and Italy.
