Violette Cunnington - Biography

Gabriel Pascal's assistant, in 1938 she became Leslie Howard's assistant. She played two small roles in Leslie Howard's films: "Pimpernel" Smith and The First of the Few.
Ronald Howard stated in his book, In Search of My Father: A Portrait of Leslie Howard, "In encouraging Cunnington to 'replenish her wardrobe' Howard 'never ceased to be astonished at her incredible frugality in personal adornment' but convinced her to purchase a dinner dress 'with squares in the palest pastel shades' and was amazed at 'how little it cost' especially in the purchase of 'a necklet of leaves of gilded tin costing two and a half dollars!'"

Then Ronald states in another part of the book "We shall see them, Violette and Leslie, two small figures standing close together against the dark immensity of the desert, standing silent in the still clear air; two faces upturned in wonder at the brilliant firmament: we shall hear their voices:...We are so small, so unimportant...What does the future mean for us...? I am frightened—how can we hold together...? What is the mystery of our coming together...? We can never, never part—it was not just for nothing." Her death brought out the melancholy side of Howard, and he began to dabble in spiritualism.
