How come Datalounge doesn't discuss Ellen Corby?

For reasons known to her.

Old dyke.

She was no Vivian Vance!

I wasn't to say this in the nicest possible way: a poor man's Thelma Ritter. Which is high compliment indeed.

One dosen't like to talk about oneself.

We are not worthy.

Because recollections may vary about her, OP.

I recollect her hankering after that Old Man in the long johns and overalls and encouraging her oldest grandson to get off the mountain.

Michael Learned always complained that she was rather crude on The Walton's set, always talking about having to pull errant little hairs out of her teeth.

OP- She looked OLD already when she appeared It's A Wonderful Life and she was only 34 years old.

Wasn't she a regular at Bea Benaderet's annual DL New Year's Eve party, along with all the other Hollywood dykes?

That’s good for a character actress, R9!

They wanted her for Golden Girls, but she couldn't play Sicilian.

I recollect her gossiping about poor Charlotte Hollis, her cousin Miriam, Doctor Bayliss, and Jewel Mayhew.

Cane face.

Yes r13. And wasn't she gossiping with one of the Baldwin sisters?

Mayme or Emily?

There’s only 24 hours in a day!

Loved her in Harriet Craig as the terrorized-by-Crawford maid.

[quote]She was no Vivian Vance!

Maybe not--but she taught me everything I know about acting at Jamestown High!

She did a stag lesbian porn film with Nedra Volz and Judith Lowry.

What a career! AND The Ghost and Mr Chicken 1966

She wasn't boogie or fabulous. Not DL material.

She was so crotchety on The Waltons I never cared for her.

OP, that would be Golden Globe winning and Oscar nominated Ellen Corby.

Miss Maime r16

She acted better after the stroke...

R15, she was. Of course, before she was seen outside the Hollis home, our Ellen was in Mayberry where she sold a lemon to Barney Fife, earning her the moniker, "Hubcaps."

Because I gave better head.

Angela Landsbury also had old lady face, even when she was young. Just checking out Ellen's IMDB, she was in everything.

Resting

What car?

She started out in the biz as a script girl on the Our Gang comedies - I think her husband was an assistant direction or something.

Some people never seemed to look young, Nancy Walker is another example.

Beulah Bondi, a wonderful character actress, was playing old ladies in the 1930s when she was in her 40s, She won an Emmy for playing a really old lady on "The Waltons" 40 years later.

Ellen used to love her threesomes with the Baldwin Sisters. Too much of the recipe and they would all chow down on each others snatch. Yum yum yum.

Dear God in heaven! Is nothing sacred to you people?

She and Edgar Bergen are two standouts in an amazing film, "I Remember Mama." This scene always makes me tear up.

Well, she never could act worth a lick, no matter how much she was practicing versions of it off screen.

She had a nappy pussy.

I saw a YouTube clip of her on the Tonight Show talking about an exotic trip she took - somewhere like Nepal. It was like listening to your grandma tell a story about a senior church bus tour through a state park. Carson was in wrap this up mode throughout.

I just saw her on an ancient Hazel rerun last night.

Redundant.

R35- LOL!

I'm laughing so hard I can't breath.
