Peggy Cummins, Legendary Femme Fatale of 'Gun Crazy,' Dies at 92

Peggy Cummins and John Dall pull off a robbery in a scene from 'Gun Crazy.' 

She starred in the film noir classic after being brought to the U.S. for the lead in 'Forever Amber,' only to be replaced.

Peggy Cummins, the petite blond actress who played the carnival sharpshooter turned murderous bank robber in the sexually charged 1950 film noir classic Gun Crazy, has died. She was 92. Cummins suffered a stroke and died Friday in a London hospital surrounded by her family, her longtime friend Dee Kirkwood, a fellow trustee of Stars Foundation for Cerebral Palsy, told The Hollywood Reporter.
