Trivia
Was known as "Queenie Thompson" up until 1939 when her then husband Alexander Korda convinced her to change her name.
Because of facial scars the actress sustained in a London car crash in 1937, her future husband, cinematographer Lucien Ballard, designed a compact spotlight that he coined the "Obie" (Oberon's nickname). Mounted on the side of the camera, the device lights the subject head on, thus reducing the incidence of unflattering facial lines and shadows.
Born under the sign of Aquarius!
Her father hailed from Britain and her mother from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
Measurements: 33 1/2-24-35 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
Two children, Francesca Pagliai and Bruno Pagliai Jr.
In 1949, twelve years after her mother's death, she commissioned a painting of her mother from an old photograph, instructing the painter to lighten her mother's complexion in the painting to hide the fact that she is part-Indian.
