    One of the best, and not as well known now as she should be. She was utterly convincing in every. single. role.

      “The Bishop’s Wife”, even in that small role she was so memorable, just the right touch…

    Thank you for the link to her autobiography. What a great idea. It’s one of my favorites and so much more than a typical Hollywood memoir. But then who’s less typical than Elsa?

      I think she speaks openly in the book about being married to a gay man. Very candid!
