Actor Born: June 1, 1911 in Talldega, AL Death: December 31, 1964 in Beverly Hills, CA Biography:Often cast as tough, defensive women, "Gertrude Michael" was a pianist before beginning her acting career. Even in her very early twenties, "Michael" conveyed a tangy "Don't tread on me!" attitude, and as such proved a worthy foil for "Mae West" in "I'm No Angel" (1933). She was more sedate (but no less emphatic) as Calpurnia in DeMille's "Cleopatra" (1934). In 1934, "Michael" played the leading role of an ex-jewel thief in "The Notorious Sophie Lang", reviving the characterization for the sequels "The Return of Sophie Lang" (1936) and "Sophie Lang Goes West" (1937). "Gertrude Michael" alternated film, TV, and stage work until the early '60s; her last picture was 1962's "Twist All Night". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
