Marguerite Leslie (born Marguerite Hedman, April 3, 1884 – 1958) was a Swedish-born English actress.
Marguerite Hedman was born in Östersund, Jämtland County, Sweden, the daughter of Johan Hedman and Ingrid Kempe. Her sister Martha Hedman also worked as an actress, [1] [2] and later as a writer. The sisters were educated in Sweden, Finland, and London. [3]
Marguerite Hedman adopted the name "Marguerite Leslie" as an actress in London, [1] where she appeared in Nero (1906), The Beauty of Bath (1906-1907), My Darling (1907), Concerning a Countess (1907), [4] A Scotch Marriage (1907-1908), Penelope (1909), [5] Preserving Mr. Panmure (1911), The Marionettes (1911-1912), At the Barn (1912), and The Vision of Delight (1912).

She was tall, [10] and considered a beauty as a young actress, [3] a " Burne-Jones girl in an English garden-party hat... quite the pinkest and whitest, fresh daisiest thing we have had for a long while," mused one Los Angeles writer. [11] During World War I she worked raising funds for the Red Cross. [12]
