You guys, I'm gonna come back and patch this into an earlier thread that I'm pretty sure I posted in the last few months. I just can't find it right this second.
I just wanted to mention, apparently Barbara Perry died this month. I primarily know her because she had a very minor part in the first Trancers movie. She was Mrs. Claus here:
But, I think she is interesting because she had one of the longest acting careers in Hollywood history: 84 years, from 1933 to 2017. That's... about three quarters of the time that Hollywood has even existed. I don't think she was ever super-famous, but she certainly hung in there for quite awhile.

I posted something here recently about an actress named Carla Laemmle, who was in Dracula (1931) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925), and took a shitload of decades off before returning to Hollywood in this millennium, including several films in this decade.
Anyway, I like that kind of thing, trying to connect modern times to very remote periods in history by finding a person who was active in both times.
But, my main point here should be: RIP Barbara Perry.
