MINI BIO:
The mother of Broderick Crawford, Helen Broderick was a Broadway favorite for many years, brightening comedies and musicals with her caustic humor and ability to sing, dance, or do almost anything else required of her. In movies, often working with topnotch performers like Victor Moore, she was fated to be cast in third-rate productions of second-rate screenplays. When a good one came along, like Top Hat (1935), she was marvelous. Other films include 50 Million Frenchmen (1931), Love on a Bet (1936), Meet the Missus (1937), Father Takes a Wife (1941) and Because of Him (1946).
