Josephine Hutchinson(1903-1998)

As a child she studied at Seattle's Cornish School. Still in her early twenties, after several years of stock work in New York, she joined Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theater where she won critical praise for her title role in "Alice in Wonderland." She came to Hollywood in 1934 under contract with Warners, debuting in Rayon d'amour (1934). She co-starred with Paul Muni in La vie de Louis Pasteur (1936) and played in many small roles, both in films - e.g., the phony U.N. ambassador's wife in La Mort aux trousses (1959) - and television: La quatrième dimension (1959), Gunsmoke (1955), and Perry Mason (1957) in the fifties and sixties. She died at Manhattan's Florence Nightingale Nursing Home, aged 94.
