Lovely, statuesque actress Sally Gray, complete with husky voice and dumb blonde persona was born Constance Vera Stevens in London, England on February 14, 1915. In a career instigated by her ballerina mother, Sally began performing at age 10 in minstrel shows and was initially trained in dance and acting at the Fay Compton Studio of Dramatic Art. She later gained experience as a chorine in London-based musical shows before making her film debut in an adaptation of Richard B. Sheridan's classic restoration comedy School for Scandal (1930). Throughout the late 1930s the shapely, vivacious actress appeared in such films as The Dictator (1935), Checkmate (1935), Cafe Colette (1937), and The Saint in London (1939). She was also utilized by actor/director Stanley Lupino in such light "B"-level entertainment as Cheer Up (1936), Hold My Hand (1938) and Over She Goes (1937).Following the filming of The Saint's Vacation (1941) and Dangerous Moonlight (1941), Sally suffered a major nervous breakdown and was off the screen for five years. She bounced back in the post-war years with "bad girl" roles in heavier dramas such as Green for Danger (1946), They Made Me a Fugitive (1947) and The Mark of Cain (1947), the last film playing a wife who comes between her husband and his brother.Hollywood expressed interest in the voluptuous blonde after her work in Obsession (1949), but she turned down the offer when she married Dominick Geoffrey Edward Browne who, as the fourth Lord Oranmore and Browne, made her his third wife in 1950. Her last film was Escape Route (1952). Sally settled into her new life as Lady Oranmore and Browne in County Mayo, Ireland, but returned to live in London in the early 1960s. Never reactivating her career, she tended assiduously to her gardening in later years. Her husband of 52 years, who served as a member of the House of Lords for 72 years, died in 2002 at the age of 100, and Sally followed him to the grave four years later at age 91 on September 24, 2006, in London.
