  • Trivia
    Had her only child at age 22 -- a son, David Raymond William Huggins (aka David Huggins) -- on August 14, 1959, by her first husband, the late actor Jeremy Brett. Grandson, Dan Huggins, was born in 2002 to her son and daughter-in-law, Madeleine Christie. Massey appeared with Brett (although by then the two had already divorced) in the 1979 BBC television production of "Rebecca". Brett played the enigmatic "Maxim de Winter" and Massey played the unhinged housekeeper, "Mrs. Danvers".
  • Quotes
    I think however old and blind and prune-like one may look, the spirit that goes on inside you stays young and flirtatious.
