Angela Clarke (August 14, 1909 – December 16, 2010) was an American stage, television and film actress.

Career

Clarke appeared in over thirty films throughout her forty-year career, usually in bit parts or in background roles, uncredited. Films in which she made a large impression included The Seven Little Foys, in which she played a large supporting role as Bob Hope's disapproving sister-in-law, House of Wax, (1953) A Double Life, The Gunfighter and The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.

Clarke, despite entering the film business in her early forties (in 1949's The Undercover Man), cornered the market for grey-haired, matriarchal motherly-types (such as her role as Mama Caruso in The Great Caruso).

Death

Clarke died, aged 101, in Moorpark, California. Clarke is buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.
