Biography

Born Isabeau Marguerite Luckhoff in the Western Cape, she was a graduate of Stellenbosch University. She became a journalist writing for Die Huisgenoot, while also doing some amateur acting with the Worcester Dramatic Society and apparently winning some FATSSA awards for best or supporting actress. She met Denis Rhodes Granger while he was directing her in a play and later married him.

They lived in Worcester until 1959, when they moved to Rhodesia with their three children. They settled in Salisbury, and lived there all their lives. Their daughter Angela Cozens would carry on with acting and writing plays in England.
