My Take
What strikes me about Alice Pearce is how completely she owned the art of the supporting role. She never needed to be the leading lady; she only needed to make you remember her, and as the nosy Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched she did exactly that. I find it quietly moving that her Emmy arrived in the same year she died, as if the industry finally caught up with a talent it had long taken for granted. A career built on comic timing rather than glamour earns my deep respect, and I think her work has aged better than many of the stars she stood beside.
