Constance Cummings (1910-2005), American-born British actress, c1930s-c1940s. Coming from a musical family (her mother was a concert soprano) Cummings made her show business debut in 1926 in regional stock theatre, and by 1928 had appeared in her first Broadway play. Her success in the theatre resulted in an invitation to Hollywood, where she went in 1931. Although she played in more than 20 films, she was never really comfortble in Hollywood nor satisfied with the parts she was getting, and in 1934 she left for England. She continued her stage and film career there. but few of those films ever made it back to the US

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Constance Cummings, an American-born British actress who graced both stage and screen during the 1930s and 1940s. Born into a musical family, with her mother being a concert soprano, Cummings was destined for a career in show business. She made her debut in regional stock theatre in 1926 before making her way to Broadway by 1928. Intrigued by Hollywood's allure, Cummings ventured to Los Angeles in 1931. Despite appearing in over 20 films, she never quite felt at ease within the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown nor content with the roles she was offered. Seeking greater artistic fulfillment, she decided to leave for England in 1934. Across the pond, Cummings continued to shine on both stage and screen while finding more satisfaction with her work. However, it is worth noting that only a few of these British films managed to make their way back across the Atlantic to captivate American audiences. This monochrome portrait captures not only Cummings' striking features but also hints at her enigmatic persona as an accomplished actress navigating between two countries and eras. With this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of Constance Cummings' significant contributions to the performing arts during a transformative period in cinematic history.
