Early yearsShe was born Millicent Maxine Edwards in Jackson Heights, Queens,[3] New York.[3] After moving to Florida, she graduated from Miami Edison High School.[4] CareerWhen she was twelve years old, Edwards danced in Let's Face It,[3] and at the age of fourteen, she appeared on Broadway as a dancer in Zigfeld Follies of 1943. Her other Broadway credits include Laffing Room Only (1944), and The Duchess Misbehaves (1946).[5] Edwards' film debut came in My Wild Irish Rose (1947).[3] She also appeared in the films Trail of Robin Hood, Spoilers of the Plains, Heart of the Rockies, In Old Amarillo, North of the Great Divide, Sunset in the West, Street Bandits and Missing Women, among others. In the late 1940s, Edwards toured the United States for fourteen months, performing in vaudeville.[3] Public response to Edwards' appearance with Roy Rogers in Sunset in the West (1950) led to her receiving a long-term contract with Republic Pictures.[3] In the 1950s, Edwards appeared on television in westerns and mystery programs.[6] Edwards appeared as Nan Gable in the 1958 episode, "Two-Gun Nan," on the syndicated television anthology series, Death Valley Days. In the story line, Nan is a woman sharpshooter affiliated with William F. Cody's Wild West Show. She sets out on a daring 180-day thoroughbred horse ride from San Francisco to New York City to prove that a woman could undertake such a task. Robert "Buzz" Henry (1931–1971) played her husband, Frank Gable, and William O'Neal (1898–1961) was cast as Cody. Still living in 1958, Nan Gable appeared with series host Stanley Andrews at the conclusion of the episode.[7] In 1954, Edwards announced her retirement from acting "to do the Lord's work in whatever way He wills."[8] Personal lifeEdwards was divorced from Ralph H. Winters and Jerry Friedman.[6] DeathEdwards died of lung cancer on August 26, 1998, in Friendswood, Texas, at the age of seventy.[9][10] {{Portalbar|Biography|New York City|Florida|Los Angeles|California|Texas|Theatre|Film|Television|Women's history|Christianity}}References1. ^http://www.b-westerns.com/ladies8.htm 2. ^http://articles.latimes.com/1998/sep/02/news/mn-18851 3. ^{{cite book |last1=Willis |first1=John |last2=Monush |first2=Barry |title=Screen World 1999 |date=2000 |publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation |isbn=9781557834119 |page=331 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=si5M_xZSO54C&pg=PA331 |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |language=en}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Johnnie Johnston, Penny Edwards on Radio Show |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20886930/penny_edwards/ |work=The Miami News |date=November 11, 1949 |location=Florida, Miami |page=27|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = June 11, 2018}} {{Open access}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=Penny Edwards |url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/penny-edwards-71033 |website=Internet Broadway Database |publisher=The Broadway League |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180611024836/https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/penny-edwards-71033 |archivedate=June 11, 2018}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Oliver |first1=Myrna |title=Penny Edwards; Actress Appeared in Numerous Movies, TV Shows |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20886084/penny_edwards/ |work=Los Angeles Times |date=September 2, 1998 |location=Los Angeles, California|page=A 20|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = June 11, 2018}} {{Open access}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0556921/?ref_=ttep_ep9|title=Two-Gun Nan on Death Valley Days|publisher=Internet Movie Data Base|accessdate=December 27, 2018}} 8. ^{{cite news |title=Actress Is Quitting To Begin Religious Work, She Reports |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20887077/penny_edwards/ |work=Miami Daily News-Record |agency=Associated Press |date=April 2, 1954 |location=Oklahoma, Miami |page=2|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = June 11, 2018}} {{Open access}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1998/sep/02/news/mn-18851 |title=Penny Edwards; Actress Appeared in Numerous Movies, TV Shows |work=Los Angeles Times |date=September 2, 1998 |accessdate=6 November 2016}} 10. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|author=Tom Vallance |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-penny-edwards-1196055.html |title=Obituary: Penny Edwards |work=The Independent |date=September 4, 1998 |accessdate=6 November 2016}} External links
