GLADYS GEORGE

'Gladys George' (September 13, 1900 – December 8, 1954) was an American actress.
Born 'Gladys Anna Clare ' in Patten, Maine, George starred on the stage in the 1920s, although she had made several films in the early part of that decade.
She is credited for contributing to the enormous success on Broadway of ''Personal Appearance'', the comedy by Lawrence Riley in which she had the starring role. This role was reprised by Mae West in the classic film ''Go West, Young Man'', which West adapted from the play.
In 1936 she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for ''Valiant Is the Word for Carrie''.
She also appeared in ''Madame X'' (1937), ''The Roaring Twenties'' (1939), ''The Way of All Flesh'' (1946), ''The Best Years of Our Lives'' (1946) and ''He Ran All the Way'' (1951). She is perhaps best known to modern audiences as the wife of Miles Archer in ''The Maltese Falcon''.
George died from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1954 in Los Angeles, California.
