A prolific character actress who began her film career in middle age in
silent films, but is best remembered for her legion of supporting roles
during the 1930s and '40s, Jane Darwell played every thing from kindly
neighbors and household servants to gossiping grandmothers, resilient
frontierswomen and no-nonsense prison matrons -- sometimes appearing in as
many as 20 films in a single year. At her best representing Middle
America, Darwell even earned an Academy Award as the Best Supporting
Actress of 1940 for her performance as Ma Joad in
John Ford's THE GRAPES OF
WRATH.
