Trivia

Was the daughter of a railroad president who claimed to be a direct descendant of President Andrew Jackson.

Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California, USA.

Buried in the Whispering Pines section, lot #1817, at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California.

Despite her advanced age of 87, she kept active and was about to begin work on another film at the time of her death.

She had retired in 1959 and was living at the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills, California, when she was approached by Walt Disney Pictures to play the Bird Woman in
Mary Poppins. She at first refused, but
Walt Disney was so set on having her in his film that he personally visited her at the MPCH and eventually persuaded her to take the part.
