similarly engaged in TV of the 1950s and early 1960s, appearing in multiple
episodes of such series as I Love Lucy, Ozzie and Harriet and
Perry Mason. She appeared in 21 films nominated for Best Picture by
the Academy, and is tied with Wallis Clark and Franklyn Farnum for appearances
in the most Oscar-winning Best Pictures (5): It Happened One Night,
You Can't Take It With You, All About Eve, The Greatest Show on
Earth and Around the World in 80 Days. Somebody has to play the

often Bess Flowers. Adhesive residue at top left corner (previous mounting).
