Angela Clarke, a renowned American actress, lived a remarkable life, spanning from August 14, 1909, until her passing on December 16, 2010. Throughout her illustrious forty-year career in the entertainment industry, Clarke appeared in an impressive array of over thirty films, often taking on bit parts or background roles, frequently without receiving credit.
However, her most notable performances left a lasting impression on audiences, including her memorable supporting role as Bob Hope's disapproving sister-in-law in The Seven Little Foys, as well as her appearances in House of Wax, A Double Life, The Gunfighter, and The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.
Interestingly, despite entering the film industry relatively late in life, in 1949's The Undercover Man, Clarke managed to carve out a niche for herself as the quintessential grey-haired, matriarchal motherly-type, exemplified by her iconic portrayal of Mama Caruso in The Great Caruso.
