Constance Binney (June 28, 1896 – November 15, 1989) was an American stage and film actress and dancer. ==Biography== Born in New York City, Constance Binney was educated at Westover School, a private college preparatory boarding school for girls in Middlebury, Connecticut and in Paris, France. She made her Broadway theatre debut in 1917 and the following year appeared with her actress sister, Faire Binney(1898–1957), in the Maurice Tourneur silent film, ''Sporting Life'' based on the play by Cecil Raleigh and Seymour Hicks. In 1919, she starred opposite John Barrymore in ''The Test of Honor''. Although Constance Binney left the film business in 1923, her contribution to the industry was recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6301 Hollywood Blvd. Unfortunately, modern assessment of her career is limited as most of her films are now lost, with only two of her films surviving in a complete form, ''Erstwhile Susan'' and ''The Case of Becky'', along with a single reel of ''First Love''. Constance Binney last performed on Broadway in 1924. She appeared on stage in London and in 1941, during the Second World War, married the British war hero, Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire who was twenty-one years her junior. However, this marriage was childless and the couple were estranged after the war ended, divorcing in 1951.〔Article on Leonard Cheshire by Christopher Foxley-Norris.〕 Constance Binney died in 1989 in Whitestone, Queens, New York City, aged 93. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constance Binney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
