actress JUDITH ANDERSON (1897-1992), born Frances Margaret Anderson, was an
acclaimed Shakespearean actress often cast in villainous roles. She was nominated for the
Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role as Mrs. Danvers, the obsessed
housekeeper in the 1940 Hitchcock film, Rebecca. Her other film roles included the wicked
stepmother of Jerry Lewis (Cinderfella, 1960), a Sioux matriarch (A Man Called Horse, 1970)
and a Vulcan priestess (Star Trek III, 1984). Anderson, who made her television debut in
1951 (Pulitzer Prize Playhouse), appeared in a number of early TV anthology series, and she
had guest starring roles on such series as Hallmark Hall of Fame (six episodes from
1954-1969) and Santa Barbara (recurring role as Minx Lockridge, 1984-1987). Anderson
was named Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1960.
GLORIA DeHAVEN (1925-2016), who made her screen debut as Paulette Goddard's little
sister in Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (1936), was a band vocalist in a number of film
musicals, including Best Foot Forward (1943) and Summer Holiday (1948). In the 1950s,
she was paired with such stars as William Powell and Red Skelton. When the popularity of
the musicals waned, De Haven remained active as a nightclub and summer stock performer,
and she made several guest appearances on television. De Haven returned to films opposite
Walter Matthau in Out To Sea (1997). George R. Sanders, originally a disc jockey, became a
prominent radio/TV interview host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland. Slightly creased.
