EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features Hilda Simms, an accomplished African American actress who graced the cover of Checkers, a groundbreaking black British magazine in 1948. Born in 1918, Simms made history when she brought her acclaimed Broadway performance of Anna Lucasta to London in 1947. The play's success marked a significant milestone in British theatre, paving the way for greater representation of black artists on the stage. Simms' arrival in Britain was met with great excitement and anticipation, and she quickly became a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. With her striking beauty and magnetic stage presence, she captivated audiences and critics alike. This image, taken during her time in London, showcases Simms' radiant smile and elegant style. Checkers was a trailblazing publication that provided a platform for black voices and perspectives in post-war Britain. The magazine covered a range of topics, from politics and social issues to entertainment and culture. Simms' appearance on the cover was a testament to her influence and impact on the British entertainment scene. Despite her success, Simms' career was tragically cut short when she passed away in 1994 at the age of 75. However, her legacy lives on, and she remains an important figure in the history of African American actors in Britain during the 1940s. This photograph serves as a reminder of her groundbreaking contributions to the world of entertainment and her enduring impact on British culture.
