Guest Arnold Posted August 11, 2005 Constance Cummings. Who she? Well she is a veteran actress hailing from the silent era who worked in Hollywood and the UK. And she's the widow of the British playwrite Benn Levy. She definitely passes the famousness test. She is living in Chelsea and is an extremely frail 95. Some may recall my pleas to include Kay Walsh (widow of David Lean and George Formby leading lady). Regretably, this was pooh-poohed and she was left out. Nine months later, she popped off and was accompanied by dazzling broadsheet obits. Miss Cummings is a similar worthy. May I urge the committee to take this nomination with the seriousness it deserves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted August 11, 2005 She cannot be that famous - she does not have a page on Wikipedia. Which means that she can't be that famous. Even the BB6 contestants have pages there, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IYG Posted August 11, 2005 She cannot be that famous - she does not have a page on Wikipedia. That's just dumb. Not having a wikipedia page doesn't mean that someone isn't famous. True, she isn't overly famous and hasn't been in really well known films but she does have a star on the walk of fame which means she is famous enough.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 15, 2005 from her name she sounds like a pornstar ..... I wasn't really sure there were any of them all the way back then! Well I do recall little clips (censored of course) on a Geraldo special on the adult film industry several years back. It was his comeback after finding nothing in Capone's vault. What I recall was grainy black and white silent films from the 30's and 40's and one in particular which showed a woman leading a man around and judging from hand level it was, well, um, un, er, uh, she was clearly holding his appendage. I guess that was as graphic as adult films could be in those days. Perhaps Windsor would like to field this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 16, 2005 They had Hard Core porn about 24 hours after the movie camera was invented. Or so I've heard. ) Admit the truth TF you were the first producer of them.

Our Sole 5 Posted August 29, 2005 Constance is very much alive and living in Oxfordshire Thanks for the information Zebedee. However, I think you are missing the point of the site. We would like to know if she is likely to croak anytime soon? Thanks. PS I don't mean doing frog impressions..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Our Sole 5 Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) not a chance! Much obliged Zebedee. However, if things do happen to change before the end of the year, would you mind sending Mr Reaper a quick message for consideration as to her inclusion for next year? Failing that, if she does get added and still feels perky, how about you slip something into her cocoa...... *Strictly speaking you are not a member and so I guess by the rules it would have to count as a hit* [sorry - forgot to sign in ^!!!

With only this fact added to her advanced age, still in my book, leaves her well outside the top 50 (in about position 70ish) so it would take about another year for her to find her way onto the deathlist.
