Lookup Offer - British Film & TV Year Book 1955-56
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 00:03 GMT (UK) »
Contains a Who's Who of people then in the industry: actors, producers, directors, critics, authors, even cameramen... A brief paragraph on each, usually including date/place of birth, education, some productions they've been involved with, and contact address. Very few photographs. For anyone famous, you'll find more elsewhere, but most people I've never heard of.

As always, requests by PM only for anyone who may still be alive.
Researching Penge, Anerley, (including the Crystal Palace) and neighbouring parts of Beckenham, currently in London (Bromley), formerly Surrey and/or Kent.

Chris I don't know if she was still acting in 1955-56, but I am interested in Agnes Gagan, she was Agnes Ursula Vincent (born Geoghegan) 1882 - 1967, but performed under the name of Agnes Gagan.  From what I can gather she spent most of her time on the stage.

Thank you for taking the time to look.

Sorry, there's no entry under any of those surnames.

Thanks for trying Chris Doran, I didn't think there would be, but it was worth a try.

A tiny bit on her...The Stage year book 1912.

That link is great Hepburn, I now know what she looks like.  Edwin Beverley was my cousin and Agnes his wife.  I am presuming that they were not very famous as they are very hard to find.
