You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Biography==
Born Rebecca Benedict Heffener in [[York, Pennsylvania]],<ref>((cite book |last1=Kear |first1=Lynn |last2=King |first2=James |title=Evelyn Brent: The Life and Films of Hollywood's Lady Crook |date=October 21, 2009 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-0-7864-5468-6 |page=244 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P_ODoCwz2EsC&dq=%22Sheila+Darcy%22+actress&pg=PA244 |access-date=April 23, 2023 |language=en))</ref> Darcy moved to [[Hollywood, California|Hollywood]] when she was 18 to pursue a career in acting. She began her career using the name Rebecca Wassem and received her first role, uncredited, in the 1932 film ''Jewel Robbery''. Two years later she received more roles, starring in two films that year. By 1935 her career had taken off, and from then until 1941 she had roles in 41 films.   In most of her early films, she played the [[heroine]] in [[B-movies]], often [[Western (genre)|Westerns]].

Darcy's best known roles were as the female lead in [[cliffhanger]]s, such as the 1939 film ''[[Zorro's Fighting Legion]]'', in which she performed opposite [[Reed Hadley]]. She also played the [[Dragon Lady (Terry and the Pirates)|Dragon Lady]] in the serial ''[[Terry and the Pirates (serial)|Terry and the Pirates]]'', released in 1940. In Westerns, she often played opposite popular cowboy actors [[Ray Corrigan|Ray "Crash" Corrigan]] and [[Max Terhune]]. In 1941 she starred or co-starred in six films and had uncredited appearances in two others. Her Hollywood career effectively ended following the release of ''[[Jungle Man (film)|Jungle Man]]'' in 1941, although a decade later she did have a [[bit part]] in one other film, ''[[Tomahawk (film)|Tomahawk]]''.

In 1943, Darcy was "a teacher of a new method for strengthening weak eyes."<ref>((cite news |title=Erich von Stroheim, Jr. to Wed Sheila Darcy |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/123360324/sheila-darcy/ |access-date=April 23, 2023 |work=Evening World-Herald |agency=International News Service |date=April 30, 1943 |page=27|via = [[Newspapers.com]]))</ref>
