Evelyn Ankers (1918-1985) |
|
- Nancy Kelly, Scotland Yard, 1939. Ankers away… The Fox suits suddenly decided against poor Ankers as Lady Sandra Lasher - “not well enough known for the top part in so expensive a production.” So why choose her in the first place?
- Ella Raines, Corvette K-225, 1942. Or Corvettes in Action when director Howard Hawks’ early casting suggestions included Ankers (or Diana Barrymore) for Joyce Cartwright.
- Nancy Coleman, Mourning Becomes Electra, 1946. In the frame for Hazel Niles - with Heather Angel, Frances Heflin, Ann Rutherford and Jacqueline White. Born in Chile to English parents, Ankers was the #1 screamer in B–quickies. While engaged to Glenn Ford, she met Richard Denning. They were wed in 942 until her death.
