My Take
Nolan is one of those character actors whose face you know even if the name escapes you, and I think she was quietly brilliant. Her Lady Macbeth in the 1948 Welles film alone justifies her legend, that voice carrying menace and grief at once. Four Emmy nominations, decades of radio, stage, screen and voice work, plus a creative marriage to fellow character actor John McIntire, paint a portrait of a true working artist. I value durability and range over stardom, and Nolan had both in abundance. She is exactly the kind of unglamorous craftsperson I most want to celebrate.
