Sally Gray in Obsession

Sally Gray was the best looking British actress of the 1940s and at the end of that decade she co-starred with Robert Newton and Phil Brown in Obsession. The 1949 film, retitled The Hidden Room for the American market, was Sally Gray's second to last movie before retiring from the screen after making one more picture in 1952. Though Obsession is mostly about an angry husband who imprisons his wife's current lover in an underground chamber, Sally Gray shines throughout as the beautiful, unfaithful wife.

It's a shame that Sally Gray didn't continue working throughout the 1950s. The actress looks so lovely in Obsession and was certainly doing some of her best work in the late 1940s.

Sally Gray was a terrific British actress who was active on screen from 1935-1952. She is one of the most highly watchable actresses I've ever come across...incredibly beautiful and highly skilled!

Sally Gray and The Saint

British actress Sally Gray was perhaps best known in America for her roles in two films in the long running Saint series. It seems quite likely that Sally Gray could have become a big Hollywood star but apparently she did not want to leave the UK. While she did do several great British films during her nearly two decade career, one wonders what the actress could have accomplished at one of the big Hollywood studios. Sally Gray was certainly a great deal more physically attractive than a lot of popular American actresses (and many British actresses who had made the transition to Hollywood), but she also had an innate charm to her...an affable quality that made her so pleasing to watch on screen.

In 1939, Sally Gray starred as the beautiful ladyfriend of The Saint in The Saint in London. The Saint was played effortlessly by the legendary George Sanders and both he and Sally Gray have wonderful chemistry. Both performers have a sense of humor about them that makes watching them quite enjoyable.

In 1941, presumably due to the success of her her first appearance, Sally Gray costarred in another Saint movie. This time it was The Saint's Vacation with the Saint being played by Hugh Sinclair. While this Saint outing was somewhat lesser overall that Sally Gray's first Saint film, the actress nonetheless stood out and made the most of her role.
