Primula Rollo was the only daughter to Lady Kathleen Hill and Flight Lieutenant William Rollo. In 1940 she was a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, when she met actor David Niven. She and David were married at Huish Church on the Wiltshire Downs. It was during a party at Tyrone Power's house that a terrible accident occurred. During a game of sardines (hide-and-seek), Primmie mistakenly walked through a doorway thinking it was leading into a closet, but instead it was a flight of stone steps leading to the basement. She died the following day of a fractured skull and brain lacerations. She and David had two sons, David Jr and Jamie.
