Jane Mary Griffiths (16 October 1929 – 11 June 1975) was an English actress who appeared in theatre, film and television between 1950 and 1966.
She played the female lead opposite Gregory Peck in The Million Pound Note (1954), but never appeared in another major film, and spent the rest of her career in B movies. Film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane praised her "unexpectedly poignant" performance in The Durant Affair, in which she evokes "a convincing air of struggling to contain past sadness".[1]
