Hermione Ferdinanda Gingold (9 December 1897 – 24 May 1987) was an English actress known for her sharp-tongued, eccentric persona. She had a strikingly individual voice, drawling and deep, the latter a result of nodes on her vocal chords in the 1920s and early 1930s.
After a successful career as a child actress, she later established herself on the stage as an adult, playing in comedy, drama and experiment theatre, and broadcasting on the radio. She found her milieu in revue, in which she played from the 1930s to the 1950s, co-starring several times with Hermione Baddeley. Later she played formidable elderly characters in such films and stage musicals as Gigi (1958), Bell, Book and Candle (1958), The Music Man (1962) and A Little Night Music (1973).
From the early 1950s Gingold lived and made her career mostly in the US. Her American stage work ranged from John Murray Anderson's Almanac (1953) to Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad (1963), the latter of which she also played in London. She became well known as a guest on television talk shows. She made further appearances in revue and toured in plays and musicals until an accident ended her performing career in 1977.
Hermione Gingold explains why she shuns personal relationships. CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. Watch more at http://www.cuny.tv/series/dayatnight

Hermione Gingold singing "Liasons" shortly after "A Little Night Music" opened, on the set which was used for the evening this comes from, the live spectacular "Sondheim Tribute". Much of it remains unissued (this was not included probably so as to not compete with the new cast album), some of it rightfully so due to off-pitches, a rather lizardy "Marry Me A Little" Len Cariou sings and other problems. But this with the introduction is wonderful, and the liveliest version of her performance of it (she also recorded a looser version for the London cast LP). It's from a mono audience tape (I think), very cleaned and rebalanced, so there is better sound to be issued. Like the Barbara Cook "Carnegie" album this is one of the classic recordings that should be reissued with all the releasable ma...

In 1950, English actress Hermione Gingold appeared on stage in London alongside Hermione Baddeley in Fallen Angels, a Noel Coward comedy in which--controversially at the time--the two female leads contemplate adultery. Gingold soon received a threatening letter from a disgusted member of the public. With no address at which to aim a reply, Gingold instead responded with a letter that was reprinted in her 1952 book, My Own Unaided Work. Letters Live returns to London, Oct 4-8th 2016.
