Most memorable as Mrs Hudson, housekeeper at 221B Baker Street, opposite Basil Rathbone in the Sherlock Holmes films of the 30's and 40's. (She played the same role opposite Rathbone in the Holmes radio series.)
Often typecast as an Irish mother despite being a native of Scotland. This used to drive Irish film-goers crazy, who could easily detect the Scottish accent.
