MINI BIO:
Jessie Ralph was one of those stately-as-a-galleon ladies who brought a touch of warmth and dignity to everything she tackled -- nurses, governesses, companions and dowagers. At one end of the scale, she was a good fairy in "The Blue Bird", then in the same year she enjoyed a rare chance to play the harridan as W.C.Field's mother-in-law in "The Bank Dick". She was forced to give up acting only after the amputation of a leg in 1941.
