Her name is Mary Wickes (R.I.P.) and she was a phenomenal actress who played the "crotchety fiesty (and in her later years, old) woman " in many Hollywood classic! Her career spanned several decades and I remember TCM doing a special tribute to her that I watched simply because I knew that she was sister of Phi Mu. She received a degree in political science from Washington University in St. Louis and was encouraged to act by a prof. She was featured in "I Love Lucy" and understudied for the role of the Wicked Witch in "Wizard of Oz". She payed Sister Mary Lazarus in Sister Act I & II. She never married and died at age 85 prior to the release of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in which she was the voice of a gargoyle.
