Sadly, Gladys has been pretty much forgotten today but she's one of my absolute favourites. She was great in 7th Heaven, my absolute favourite movie of all time. She chewed up every scene she was in, it was great. Her character was a real b'atch ;-D!!!!! Poor Janet was terrified of her. Off screen, tho, Gladys was a real gem; an incredibly intelligent woman who was a voracious reader, wrote poetry, composed music for the piano and designed, built and sold several homes. If one of her fans sent her a present she'd try to use that gift in a movie, then write the person to tell them to look for it in such and such a scene. She was amazing -- someone I'd have gotten along quite well with!!!!! So, Andre, thanks for remembering a truly great talent. I found this article thru a link from something on Janet Gaynor.
