[edit] Spelling

Should not this be spelled fFrangcon Davies? I thought that was the convention for all those British names that start with two F's (such as fFoulkes)...

Certainly in this case that's the correct spelling, or at least the spelling she always used. I think it's actually usually "ffoulkes" without a capital letter at all. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

You are probably thinking about some English aristocratic surnames which start "ff". However this is a Welsh name, which would follow normal capitalisation. Although, do we have a definitive answer to whether her surname had a hyphen? Her IMDB entry has no hyphen, the Wikipedia biography of her father does not have one in his name.
