He was paid $35 for this work and had to be uncredited because he was blacklisted. She died in 1969.ĭalton Trumbo was the uncredited radio voice of John Gilvray. Madge has mostly small roles in television and film. Part of the reason she was on “Batman” so that the two males would be chaperoned. Cooper on “Batman” 1966-1967 and as Larry Mondello’s mother on “Leave It to Beaver” 1958 -1960. This was followed by a 20-year career, the highlights of which, for me, are Aunt Harriet Cooper/Mrs. At the age of 50, she left government work and went to the Pasadena Playhouse to study acting.

When World War II broke out Madge went to work supporting the Manhattan Project and had a top-secret clearance. Two notable films she was in are The Caine Mutiny (1954) and All the King’s Men (1949). Katherine Warren played Grace Crocker, wife to cop Bud.

There were two couples that were supporting cast and I find the two women by far the most interesting so I will just cover them. Anderson was covered in Battleground (1949). Herbert Anderson was in the film for just a bit and uncredited as a Reporter. Keyes was covered in 99 River Street (1953). Heflin was first covered as the bad guy in They Came to Cordura (1959).Įvelyn Keyes played Susan Gilvray, the housewife looking for a little more. Van Heflin was solid as Webb Garwood, a murdering policeman, that was not above a little social climbing. I’ll talk about HUAC a little later but first, let’s jump into our veteran actors.

The interior designer for the film, John Hubley was also later black-listed. Hugo Butler was later black-listed even though he wasn’t real. The screenplay was written by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo and came out under his working alas Hugo Butler.
