    One of my favorite character actors.
    The other is Thelma Ritter.
    For over 70 years, f either one of these wonderful ladies was in a movie or play, I knew that, no matter how good or bad the show was, if Mary, or Thelma, was on the screen, that scene was gonna be dynamite.
    RIP, sweet ladies, and thanx so very very much, for the magic, music, and memories.

    I grew up watching her, acting in television and movie's, and subconsciously, adsorbing her. Later, about 20 years ago, I finally got to see "The Man Who Came To Dinner", and I thought wow, I know her from somewhere. Then I seen her in that episode, of 'Sanford And Son', where she's a maid. I then thought of her, in one of my favorite comedy movies, 'The Trouble With Angels'. She's been there for me, in bit parts, my whole life☺️!!!!

    I loved her in Paul Newman's, "Nobody's Fool, Aged to Perfection". She played the bartender at a little dive bar in a small town. Everybody who was anybody in Hollywood at the time was in the film: Jessica Tandy in one of her last roles, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a very young Dylan Walsh. I watch it every year around Thanksgiving. It's a classic.

Desi and Lucy were there from about 1943-1955. They sold it to Jane Withers (or so I read) and then no one seems to know who else owned it. It was torn down in 1976, to build a housing development and no trace of the original footprint exists today. Tuba St. runs through what used to be their property. The last owner had no idea they were selling a piece of Hollywood history to a developer. That corner is so ugly today!

      I thought that a good pilot and would have had possibilities. The men in grey suits clearly had other ideas. Quick Profit before audience approval and enjoyment know doubt.

    It's a crime that Mary Wickes never got nominated for a Supporting Oscar or perhaps more Emmys....She was Very good.

    An absolute treasure. There needs to be lifetime Oscars for the character actors who make everything better.... currently, Jane Greer comes to mind....

    Hey! Disney's inspiration for HIS Cruella was Tallulah Bankhead. Watch Cruella's personality. Watch Tallulah's personality. Oh, yeah. Walt was inspired by Tallulah for his Cruella.
    But I've always loved Mary Wickes. I've never seen her do anything where she didn't absolutely nail it! Believe it or not, one of my favorite roles for her was "Marie" in "The Father Dowling Mysteries".

    We were delighted when Mary Wickes showed up on an episode of Columbo “Suitable For Framing”. Always a scene stealer in everything she did.

    Wow! Never knew this much about her. Just from episodes if I Love Lucy. And i had forgotten about her in Sister Act. She was definitely underrated

    She also played a part in Highway to Heaven, in the episode "Country Doctor". One of my favorite episodes, partly due to her 😂 ❤
