A lot more than that have "appeared alongside her".
There were quite a few in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) like: Larry Olivier, Richard Wattis & Esmond Knight.

I expect they really mean "starred alongside her". But it also depends on how you (or whoever first made the statement) defines "British".

But Larry is presumably the obvious one

Indeed. There's Cary Grant in Monkey Business if it's just co-stars. Also Wildred Hyde-White in Let's Make Love if it's anyone who was in a film with her (along with the whole cast of The Prince and the Showgirl)

Well the biographer should know better
There is at least one (Larry Olivier) who starred alongside her and about 10 others who "appeared alongside her" in that one film
