Star of 1950's noir Gun Crazy, Peggy Cummins, dead at 92

The Hollywood icon is remembered. - by Georgia Mars
  • 04 Jan 2018

Peggy Cummins, a Hollywood legend, has died at the age of 92. 

 

The Welsh-born actress passed away on Friday after suffering a stroke. 

Cummins was best known for her role in the 1950 noir Gun Crazy. Her legacy following the film was that of a 'sharp-shooting femme fatale' that became the precursor and inspiration behind films with strong female leads, including legendary Bonnie & Clyde. 

Cummins' is survived by two children, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. 

Many have taken to social media to remember Cummins and the legacy she leaves on Hollywood film
