Shirley Booth(1898-1992)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Character actress Shirley Booth could play everything in all facets of
show business, whether it was Miss Duffy the Tavern Owner's Man Crazy Daughter on
"Duffy's Tavern", the sassy maid on TV's
Hazel (1961) or the pathetic woman in
Come Back, Little Sheba (1952).
For those who only know her through her sitcom, it might be hard to
believe she was a seasoned theatrical veteran, having appeared on
Broadway from 1925-70. She was highly regarded as a stage actress and
ranks as one of the premier talents of the 20th-century theatre.
