THE HAT SQUAD: CONSTANCE CUMMINGS

Constance Cummings was probably best known for her work in the theatre and in the movies, but she did some TV work in the United Kingdom and here in the United States as well.

But it's one TV credit that leapt out to grab my attention:

Cyrano de Bergerac (1938) (TV) .... Roxane

1938!!!

From what little I've read about the TV industry and its history in England, (mostly in the British Television: An Illustrated Guide), I've often wondered how far ahead they might have been had it not been for the interruption of WWII.

TV MOVIES
Dead Man's Folly (1986) (TV) .... Amy Folliatt
Love Song (1985) (TV) .... Dame Philippa Hatchard
Wings (1983) (TV) .... Emily Stilson
Long Day's Journey Into Night (1973) (TV) .... Mary Tyrone
Nine Bean Rows (1968) (TV) .... Rose
Cyrano de Bergerac (1938) (TV) .... Roxane
