Mildred Natwick

What strikes me about Mildred Natwick is the sheer durability of her craft. Winning an Emmy at sixty-eight, picking up an Oscar nomination and two Tony nods along the way, she was never the marquee name but always the actor directors trusted to elevate a scene. I find that kind of career deeply admirable. Stage, film, television, she moved between them without ego, and the fact that she collected art on the side hints at a discerning, observant eye. To me she represents the unglamorous backbone of mid-century American acting, the seasoned presence that makes everyone around them look better.
