Actor Born: October 16, 1913 in New York City, NY Death: March 3, 1966 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:Short, acid-tongued character comedienne "Alice Pearce" built her reputation in Broadway musicals. Her first screen appearance was as Lucy Schmeeler, the girl with a really bad sneeze, in the "Gene Kelly"/"Frank Sinatra" musical "On the Town" (1949). Preferring stage to screen work, she didn't settle down in Hollywood on a permanent basis until the early '60s. On television, Pearce starred in her own weekly, 15-minute musical program in 1949, singing such novelty tunes as "I'm in Love With a Coaxial Cable." At the time of her death from cancer, "Alice Pearce" was appearing as nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz on the TV sitcom "Bewitched", a role which won her a posthumous Emmy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
