Supporting actress Gladys Blake first appeared onscreen in the late 1930s. In Warren Meyers` Who is That?, a picture book devoted to Hollywood`s favorite character actors, Blake is lumped together with such cinematic tarts as Veda Ann Borg and Olga San Juan in a chapter titled "My, Isn`t She Cheap?" In truth, Blake`s appearances as "naughty ladies" were limited. During her 12-year (1938-1950) screen career, she was most often seen as a garrulous telephone operator, most memorably in Abbott and Costello`s Who Done It? (1942). Gladys Blake`s final screen role was, appropriately enough, "The Talkative Woman" in Paid in Full (1950). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
