Please join me in this video, Peggy Cummins - Girl Next Door to Evil in a Tight Skirt.
In the 1930s Peggy Cummins was a child actress of considerable talent, landing many leading parts in the popular stage plays of the day, but as an adult, Peggy Cummins appeared to be one of the numerous actresses that British cinema deprived of good roles.
However, as Peggy Cummins' career progressed through the fifties and sixties, she consistently gave strong performances, and has since left behind a truly impressive catalog of films to be proud of, working alongside some of the great stars of the day such as Edward G Robinson, Rex Harrison, and Shelley Winters, to name but a few!
Invited to Hollywood by one of the leading producers and studio executives, Peggy Cummins was soon to experience a massive setback and a confidence-breaking critique when she was told she was ‘not sexy enough’ - Peggy picked herself up despite the public humiliation that followed and carried on with her career against the odds.
Although after this crushing assessment, she would rapidly leave Hollywood behind, not before giving one of her finest performances in a film that would eventually repay her with everlasting iconic status on the B-movie film Noir circuit - for her role in the 1950s ‘Gun Crazy’
On returning to Britain, Peggy Cummins continued to give solid performances in every film she appeared in.
Sadly, for fans - she took the decision to retire early from films, at a point in her life when she still had so much potential in front of her. Was it the right decision? Let me know what you think in the comments!
Please join me as we take flowers and visit Peggy’s final resting place in the tranquil and lovely churchyard of All Saints Church in the beautiful village of Herstmonceux, East Sussex.
