Interesting Fact: Though she played the part of a mother and grandmother most of her life, she never had any children and was never married in real life.
My Favorite Movie: On Borrowed Time (1939) is a family favorite. She is a fantastic grandmother in this picture and the film itself was very well done. She reprised her role in this film three times. On the big screen in 1939, on Broadway in 1953 and then on Television in 1957.
She was a favorite of movie goers for generations, and her performance in It's a Wonderful Life (1946) has been immortalized. Many say that her best film was Make Way for Tomorrow (1937). Her performance in that picture is truly tear jerking. She had a soft and polite way of talking that made the audience feel at peace. She was truly an amazing actress.
