appeared in at least 30 Broadway plays over half a century (1911-1960),
singing in musicals but also playing comic and dramatic parts. She was Portia in
the 1928 stage version of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. In the
1920s, she was an occasional visitor to the intellectual circle known as the
Algonquin Round Table, which lunched daily at New York's Algonquin Hotel.
She played mostly supporting roles in films, but starred in the much-loved
role of Norwegian-American Marta Hansen in the popular TV series I Remember
Mama (1949-1957). She received an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting
Actress as the Mother Superior in The Sound of Music (1965), although
her singing voice was gone by then and her songs had to be dubbed. Normal
mailing folds. Otherwise, fine condition.
