BIOGRAPHY:

German-born Gertrude Hoffman began her film career in Germany in 1918, but she didn't start her Hollywood career until she was past 60 years of age, making her American film debut in 1933. She worked steadily and made quite a few films over the next 20 years, though many of her parts were unbilled. She is probably best remembered as Mrs. Odets, the sassy next-door neighbor to Gale Storm in "My Little Margie" (1952), who was always up for a "caper" in one of Margie's many crazy schemes. She died in Hollywood of a heart attack in 1966.

TRIVIA:

Went to Hollywood at age 60 (after raising two daughters and a son) to begin a film career.
Mother of 'Max Hoffman Jr.' (qv)
Mother-in-law of British composer and Master of the Queen's Music Sir 'Arthur Bliss' (qv).
