Trivia

  • Character actress who began on Broadway stage with George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's "Merrily We Roll Along", then moved into films in 1968 at age 56 to play mature and elderly roles.
  • Founder of the "Theatre 40" theatrical company in Beverly Hills.
  • Perhaps best remembered as William Katt's crazy aunt who leaves him the haunted house in the cult classic 'House' from 1985.
  • Not only did she obviously play older women in movies, being that she started her movie and TV career late, but her characters were often credited with either the word "Old" or "Older" or "Lady" and even "Old Lady" or other such references without an actual first and last name.
