Sally Gray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sally Gray (February 14, 1916 - September 24, 2006) was an English movie actress of the 30s and 40s.
Constance Vera Stevens was born in Holloway, London. She specialised in musicals and light comedies. She was a blonde with a seductive throaty speaking voice. Gray was a child stage actress before breaking into films in the 1930s. She trained as a child at the Fay Compton School of Dramatic Art.
In 1942 she temporarily retired from acting due to ill-health, then returned to acting in 1946 in such memorable films as Green for Danger (1946), Carnival (1946) and They Made Me a Fugitive (1947) RKO executives were so impressed with Ms. Gray that they authorized producer William Sistrom to offer her a long term contract if she would come to America. John Paddy Carstairs, director of The Saint in London, also thought she could be a star.
She declined the offer, and stayed in England. She was married to Dominick Browne, 4th Baron Oranmore and Browne from 1951 until his death in 2002; they apparently had no children. She is styled Lady Oranmore and Browne through her marriage to the Baron.
