What was Pauline Stroud’s net worth at death? At time of death, Pauline had an estimated net worth of $500,000.

Pauline was the only child of her parents and she was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, to Leslie Stroud, an accountant, and Daisy (née Waters).

She initially attended a convent school – until her mother suspected that she was being considered as a possible recruit to the sisterhood, afterwhich she was educated privately, and her lessons included ballet and horse riding.

Stroud was selected nation-wide from 200 other women (some say 500 screen-tested) for her first role, given as ‘honey-haired, blue-eyed and 5ft 4in tall’. She had been a dancing stand-in.

In 1974, she began working at Covent Garden as an extra in ballet and opera.

Her favourite job was the John Copley production of La Bohème – starting as Rudolfo’s nude model in 1974 and finishing as the little old lady in Café Momus 41 years later, aged 85.
