MINI BIO:

Eily Malyon was a fair-haired, gloomy-looking British stage actress with strong features who came to Hollywood in the early 1930s. Her almost weather-beaten face and sharp delivery qualified her for severe, sour, be-stern-with-the-children roles. She was still glooming about as Mrs. Sketcher in 1943's "Jane Eyre" and only retired at age 70.

Eily Malyon Quotes:

Miss Piper, the Governess: As women, the first thing of importance is to be content to be inferior to men, inferior in mental power in the same proportion that she is in physical strength. A really sensible woman feels her dependence. She's conscious of her inferiority and therefore grateful for her thought.


Mrs. Walton, the housekeeper: [hearing a howl] Sounds like a lost soul!


Laundry Proprietress: Huh! It's amazing how you washed-out Cinderellas can speed up work when 5 o'clock comes around.
