TODAY IN GINNY! - April 1 - Frances Carson

Frances Carson (1895) is another one of those actresses who regularly played dowagers, society matrons, and wives of the powerful. Her 16 characters rarely were given a first name. She was society woman in SABOTEUR, Mrs. Sprague in FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, and  Mrs. Potter in SHADOW OF A DOUBT.  She's seen here as Mrs. Arthur Freeman in THIS TIME FOR KEEPS (1942). Mr. Freeman is multiple TIGer Henry O'Neill who was demoted from Ginny's father in BORN TO SING to local businessman for this one.
