SALLY GRAY

'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 had no children. She is styled 'Lady Oranmore and Browne' through her marriage to the Baron.
