She soon joined the celebrated University Players on Cape Cod, trading lines with such other young performers as Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Margaret Sullavan and Joshua Logan. She made her Broadway debut in the melodrama "Carry Nation" in 1932.<br /><br />She will forever be remembered.

She could do just about anything, but her comedic turns are my favorite. There's a bit in the "Corpse and Robbers" episode of Snoop Sisters in which she finds herself on the spot at a toy factory and improvises being a telephone company "maintenance inspector." Hilarious. I remember the Warner Bros. "umbrella" series, actually. At some point Cheyenne was rotating with Sugarfoot and another western, maybe Maverick (there were sooo many!).The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-34136343540767785572018-09-01T14:54:51.297-07:002018-09-01T14:54:51.297-07:00Eve, I've always loved Mildred Natwick, one of...Eve, I've always loved Mildred Natwick, one of those superb actresses who could play in any kind of role. Of all her performances, my favorite has to be as Angela Lansbury's witchy lady-in-waiting in THE COURT JESTER. It's interesting that years later, THE SNOOP SISTERS kinda paved the way for MURDER, SHE WROTE, Angela's long-running mystery series. I was always intrigued with the "umbrella TV series," which rotated shows weekly. The format dates back to the 1950s with "Warner Bros. Presents," which showed "Casablanca," "King's Row," and "Cheyenne" on different weeks. The only one that became a hit was Clint Walker's Western.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-13195376185012241452018-08-31T17:20:16.969-07:002018-08-31T17:20:16.969-07:00Thanks for the link to your piece on "The Sno...Thanks for the link to your piece on "The Snoop Sisters," Paddy, seems I came a little late to the party.<br /><br />Your dad had a very good eye for singular talent!
