Biography

American stage actress Angela Clarke entered films in 1949. Though only in her early 40s, Angela cornered the market in grey-haired matriarch roles, usually with accompanying ethnic accent. One of her best-remembered parts in this capacity was Harry Houdini's Jewish mama Mrs. Weiss in Houdini (1953). Clark also made a strong impression as Bob Hope's disapproving Italian aunt-in-law in the 1955 biopic The Seven Little Foys. Angela Clarke was busy in films and TV until the early 1980s, essaying supporting roles in such movies as Blindfold (1966) and Harrad Summer (1974). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
