Clara Blandick [June 4, 1880-April 15, 1962] had a solid career in supporting roles, and as a character actress, on stage and in film. On the stage, she also became known for starring roles, such as in Madame Butterfly, and in Mrs. Black is Back. In terms of films, it has been less easy to reconstruct her career, because of the many roles for which she received no mention in the credits. The best guestimates have been 150-200 films over the course of almost 40 years of on-screen work, from 1911 until her retirement in 1950. Blandick's first on-screen acting job was in the silent film The Maid's Double. Her last two films were Key to the City, and Love That Brute, in 1950. And in-between were roles as Aunt Polly in Tom Sawyer, and Huckleberry Finn, in 1930-1931; as Mrs. Pringle in Anne of Windy Poplars, in 1940; a customer in The Big Store, in 1941; a socialite in Can't Help Singing, in 1944; and a murderess in Philo Vance Returns, in 1947.
