Okay. Again, as with most of the famous people I adore, you probably don't know her by name. Bu her face is very, very familiar. Assuming, ofcourse, you like movies that don't star that new Singing Sensation turned Shakespearean Actor: Justin-Kelly-Spears-Clark-Ville, or whatever his name is. I'm talking about the Golden Age of movies. Hussey was a marvelous actress with a huge list of credits. One of her most famous (or notable) roles, was playing opposite James Stewart in "The Philadelphia Story". She earned an Oscar nomination for it, but lost out to Jane Darwell (another great one) for portraying Ma Joad in "Grapes of Wrath". If you're still unsure of who I'm talking about, you can go here and read the story.

Here she is in "The Philidelphia Story".

She aged beautifully. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

It's the reason I'm such a "Guffman" Freak.
Just heard that John Mills passed away, also in his late 90's. What a magnificent performer he was.
During a time when big faces and huge gestures were King, she (and the rest of this cast) gave small, interesting, believable performances. Hussey was never over the top. It makes me a little sad to think how many people actually remember her. Everyone's too obsessed with Paris Hilton's new film: "House Of Wax".
Kill me now.
