An English actress who had a long career mainly on the stage. She was the voice of Queen Caroline of Rubovia in Gordon Murray's "Rubovian Legends" television marionette plays for children. Violet gave the Queen a voice that had breeding, command, and assertiveness in just the right proportions. She is well remembered for her strident, "Rufus!" when looking for the King, and the more endearing, "Here Pongo, Pongo, Pongo...!" when looking for her beloved baby Chinese dragon. Gordon Murray said that due to being a very accomplished actress, she voiced the Queen without any effort whatsoever.

Married to well known English actor, Cyril Luckham 1907 - 1989.

In later years Violet (as Violet Luckham) and her husband were first performers of the work, "At Home with Elizabeth Gaskell", written by Barbara Brill. This took place at Lyme Hall in Cheshire in 1980. This work has since been performed at the National Portrait Gallery and many small venues.

In 1997, at St. Jude's Church Rooms, Violet Luckham gave a talk to the Hampstead Garden Suburb Townswoman's Guild entitled, 'An actor's wife.'
