Davina Whitehouse - Misconceptions

Misconceptions

There are two misconceptions regarding Davina Whitehouse. The first is that she was a Dame (DBE); while some Internet sources refer to her as "Dame Davina" or "Dame Davina Whitehouse", she was, in fact, never knighted, but she was awarded an OBE for her services to the arts.

The second is that she appeared as an extra in the pre-Code film, Night Nurse (1931), which starred Barbara Stanwyck, Clark Gable and Joan Blondell. This is a mistake – she actually appeared in a TV movie in 1978 of essentially the same name, The Night Nurse.
