| Video Discription | Here's the brilliantly talented child actor Ann Stephens performing French Nursery Rhymes from a 78 rpm Shellac record played on my beloved HMV 109 Wind up gramophone. Tragically Ann Stephens was to die aged just 35,and none of her online biographies state the reason though somebody has speculated that she may have died from either suicide or cancer as both causes of death would still have been somewhat Taboo subjects and not always made public even in the sixties,but this is pure speculation. Ann Stephens (21 May 1931 – 15 July 1966) was a British child actress and singer, popular in the 1940s. She was born in London. In July 1941 she recorded several songs, including a popular version of "The Teddy Bears' Picnic",[1][2] "Dicky Bird Hop" (with Franklin Engelmann) and a setting by Harold Fraser-Simson of one of A. A. Milne's verses about Christopher Robin, "Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace,"[3] which was often featured on the BBC Light Programme's Children's Favourites. In the same year she played Alice in musical recordings based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Later in the 1940s, Stephens appeared in several films, including In Which We Serve (1942), Fanny By Gaslight (1944) and The Upturned Glass (1947). In the 1950s she turned her attention to television drama. A surviving Pathe newsreel of 1945 records her visit to the Hospital for Sick Children in Great Ormond Street, London, for which her gramophone recordings had raised £8,000 JcvNPISUVus |
