Gertrude Hoffman(1871-1968)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
German-born Gertrude Hoffman began her film career in Germany in 1918,
but she didn't start her Hollywood career until she was past 60 years
of age, making her American film debut in 1933. She worked steadily and
made quite a few films over the next 20 years, though many of her parts
were unbilled. She is probably best remembered as Mrs. Odets, the sassy
next-door neighbor to Gale Storm in My Little Margie (1952), who was always up for a
"caper" in one of Margie's many crazy schemes. She died in Hollywood of
a heart attack in 1968.
