When performing in the West End production of Annie Get Your Gun (1947) , Miss Gray attended the prestigious Royal Academy of Drama Art . She later returned to London, taking over from Angela Lansbury, in Gypsy, as Rose and in 1987, as Carlotta Campion, in Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman’s Follies.

She was a phenomenon. It's a great shame that MGM didn't know how to showcase her. Though she did plenty of work on Broadway, it's the films that would have preserved her work for future generations.
