American actress Cynthia Boyd Stone was born on February 26th, 1926. Stone was the daughter of businesswoman Dorothy Drayton and John Boyd Stone.
She was born in Peoria, Illinois. She was a native of Middleburg, Virginia, and a former student of Foxcroft School.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Stone had a short-lived career as an actress in television. She frequently appeared in TV series as a cameo, but she and her ex-husband Jack Lemmon shared a small role in the flimsy sitcom Heaven for Betsy (1952). They had previously appeared in the failed television series That Wonderful Guy (1949). Additionally, Stone was featured in Colgate advertising.
Who was Cynthia Stone’s first husband Jack Lemmon?
American actor John Uhler Lemmon III was born on February 8th, 1925. At the Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Massachusetts, Lemmon was born in an elevator. He was the lone child of Mildred Burgess and John Uhler Lemmon II, president of the Doughnut Corporation of America.
Lemmon’s awkward, middle-class everyman on-screen presence in dramedy movies earned him the title of “the most successful tragi-comedian of his age” in The Guardian. He was regarded as having an equal talent for serious and comedic roles. Lemmon had two marriages. His son Chris Lemmon, who was born in 1954, and his first wife, actress Cynthia Stone, divorced.
