Top 10 British movie stars of 1943

It has come to my attention that Kendra of Viv and Larry is moving to London this week. A perfect occasion to post the Top 10 box office stars from 1943 British made films, the results of a poll conducted among British exhibitors that year. The list was featured in the 1943 International Motion Picture Almanac; a hat tip goes out to Matthew of Movie Tone News for a fascinating post he did on the Almanac.

The rankings are as follows:

1. George Formby


2. Leslie Howard


3. Noel Coward


4. Eric Portman


5. Robert Donat


6. Arthur Lucan


7. Margaret Lockwood


8. Anton Wolbrook


9. Arthur Askey


10. John Mills
