did not know she was nell fenwick.
THIS is THEE Queen of it ALL ,wake -up!!!
She is so pretty. I think it is really a credit to her talent that her looks didn't detour her into the Hollywood mill in such a sexist age. It's too bad that same sexism kept her name from becoming as well known as Mel Blanc's.
I'd love to see her bio on film. It could be Oscar worthy on many platforms.
