Vicki Cummings

Vicki Cummings (February 15, 1914 - November 30, 1969) was an American musical comedy actress whose depictions of "sophisticated, sharp-tongued women" drew praise from critics. She was billed as Vickie Charles for a while in the 1940s. Her obituary in Time magazine said that Cummings was "noted for her sardonic wit" and that "On and off the stage, she had a voice as brassy as Ethel Merman's and a tongue as agile as Dorothy Parker's".
