This is a fascinating look at the remarkable sixty year career of Hollywood stalwart Mary Wickes. Moviegoers know her as the housekeeper in White Christmas and the crotchety choir director in Sister Act. This book, filled with behind-the-scenes stories from Broadway and Hollywood, chronicles the life of a complicated woman who brought an assortment of unforgettable characters to life on screen and stage. Wickes was part of some of the most significant moments in film, television and theatre history. When Lucille Ball made her first TV appearance anywhere, Wickes appeared with her - and became Lucy's closest friend for more than thirty years. Wickes was the original Mary Poppins, long before an umbrella carried Julie Andrews across the rooftops of London. And when Disney began creating 101 Dalmations, it asked Wickes to pose for animators trying to capture the evil of Cruella de Vil. Filled with interviews, never-before-shared anecdotes, and correspondence from the like of Lucille Ball, Bette Davis, and Doris Day, this is a fascinating introduction to a complex woman who sustained a remarkable career for sixty years.
