Billie Burke: Not for Mating 

She looks mid to upper 40's to me,…as I am, and I notice,… for someone who has taken good of themselves,… not doing 'bad things', or at least not much

Billie Burke played Glinda the good witch of the north.

She appeared in a magazine ad in 1930 claiming to be 40.

As soon as i heard her voice i knew it was Glinda,the lady that came down in a big bubble

Yeah Billie Burke is one of favorite actresses and her voice is so beautiful especially her cute Accent

One of my favorite actresses. I love her in every role she plays. She brings that voice that puts a smile on my face, every time.

Indubidubly 🙂

Yeah I agree I started laughing when she got angry

She did EVERYTHING, decades long career on stage & screen.

If you like Billie Burke doing comedy, then you simply must watch her in Topper Returns. She is fabulously funny!

Decades long career entirely independent of Flo, she went back to work when his empire crashed.

Directed by the great George Cukor.

But not in the form of a British lion?

Yes Old Hollywood is still there ... on RU-vid!

Walter Van der Wahl Marie Dressler is forgotten? News to me.

Me too!

A sentiment echoed by a great many of us!

Rafael Storm Agreed! We saw Bill of Divorcement at home without a crowd and it was refreshing to see Billie Burke without the dithers ...

One of the problems that plagued Billie during "A Bill of Divorcement" was that she had not been in front of the camera in a while and she was self conscious about her movements and acting capabilities during the entire filming of the movie and it showed. However, I think her performance was still spectacular in that movie. This was Hepburn's first movie as well and I am sure the director had his hands full with a new comer and the insecurities of Burke. But a must see movie nonetheless.

Bille was even more of a twittering dithering flibbertigibbet in the 1938 film "Everybody sing", which also starred Fanny Brice, Allen Jones, and Judy Garland.

that sounds like typecastphilia

As Billie says, it's The Aspic. Aspic is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatin made from a meat stock or consommé. Non-savory dishes, often made with commercial gelatin mixes without stock or consommé, are usually called jello salads in the United States or gelatin salads elsewhere. When cooled, stock that is made from meat congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the meat. The stock can be clarified with egg whites, and then filled and flavored just before the aspic sets. Almost any type of food can be set into aspics. Most common are meat pieces, fruits, or vegetables. Aspics are usually served on cold plates so that the gel will not melt before being eaten. A meat jelly that includes cream is called a chaud-froid. Almost any meat, poultry, or fish can be used to make gelatin. The aspic may need additional gelatin in order to set properly. Veal stock provides a great deal of gelatin; in making stock, veal is often included with other meat for that reason. Fish consommés usually have too little natural gelatin, so the fish stock may be double-cooked or supplemented. Since fish gelatin melts at a lower temperature than gelatins of other meats, fish aspic is more delicate and melts more readily in the mouth. Vegetables and fish stocks need gelatin to maintain a molded shape.[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspic

Crab is better than lobster to me.

She passed away on May 14 1970.

Yes she died in the monte sano hospital in los Angeles CA

Had me laughing too!

I think you meant North. The "East" witch is killed without ever uttering a line

Maybe not, but to borrow from Norma Desmond, 'the stars are ageless' ...
