Today Cool Classics looks at the life and career of Alice Pearce who played the Gladys Kravitz, the nosy neighbor on the TV Series Bewitched. We look at her early life and first television and movie roles, such as the musical On The Town with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. The Belle of New York with Fred Astaire and Vera-Ellen. To her early TV appearances on such sitcoms as The Real McCoys and Dennis The Menace. Did you know that she was married to Paul Davis while filming the Bewitched TV Show? How about her daily journal and diary? Lots of Bewitched facts 😁

She had the best facial expressions I've ever seen on TV 🤣🤣

I agree. Alice had the most comical facial expressions of any actor I’ve ever seen. I think Dick York also had incredible facial expressions and that’s what made his interpretation of Darrin Stephens so memorable. The way a face lights up and scrunches or reacts is everything in comedy. Facial plasticity is important. Jim Carrey understood this very well and made a career out of it. The other comediennes who did this so well were Lucille Ball & Carol Burnett. In modern times, the actress who epitomises this style of female comedic facial plasticity is Monica Horan who played Amy MacDougall-Barone in “Everybody Loves Raymond.” Monica is the modern day Alice Pearce and should play Gladys in any remake of Bewitched. Perfect casting.

I clicked on this out of curiosity expecting to be mildly amused to hear about one of my favorite supporting characters from a TV show, and instead I was moved to tears to learn about the life of a talented and sweet woman, her friendships and loves, and a life cut too short by cancer. And yet it still made me smile, was life affirming, and gave me a whole new appreciation of someone who I just knew as the character whose name became synonymous with 'nosy neighbor.' Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story. This made my day.

Well I am crying. I have nothing but admiration for this little GIANT of a woman. I know that she had to be in great pain, and yet she worked hard to make is laugh. We wouldn't have known what she was going through had it not been for the weight loss. My Mom fought cancer for 12 years. In the end when she died her tiny little body was wrought with cancer. One time as I was hugging her, I felt lumps all around her rib cage. I asked Mom what they were. She said they're cancer tumors honey. I asked why don't they remove them. She said those aren't doing any harm. It's the tumors in my lungs that are killing me. She said all this during our looonng morning hug. She never stopped smiling, she told me how much she loved me, she said that I was her favorite child, and that she always wanted that morning hug from me. After she died, over the years during family gatherings I had conversations with my siblings (2 brothers 5 sisters). Turns out we all had similar conversations with Mom, and she told each one of us that..."you are my favorite child" I'm not sure why I told you this story, but it sure feels good remembering this. Thank You Gladys Kravitz You have made me smile once again.

And she utilized the diary she kept when she had cancer to help others in the future. What an amazing human being.

Sometimes I wonder what Bewitched would have been like if Alice Pearce, Dick York, Irene Vernon and Marion Lorne had been with the show in its entire run.

It's interesting that in each case instead of replacing the character they played they simply recast the role when these actors left the show.

I always thought Gladys was funny. I first saw her portrayed by Sandra Gould and I was pleasantly surprised to find out Alice Pearce played her first. That hit it out of the ballpark for me. I like Sandra Gould a lot, but my heart belongs to Alice.

Coincidentally, I happen to be watching this video on October 16th, the 104th anniversary of Alice Pearce's birth. Happy birthday to a funny and talented lady. And once again, thank you for another cool and interesting video.

Aw, I enjoyed that, and I was thinking that she led a pretty charmed life, until she died at such a young age! Glad she obviously had people around her who really loved her! What an amazing Lady!

Alice was a wonderful person and so are you for telling her story in such a sweet way. I feel so inadequate as a human being now, but maybe that’s why it was meant for me to click on your story. To make me do better.

Loved this and loved her on Bewitched! Those facial expressions she made would crack me up all the time. I knew she had passed away from cancer, but I didn't know how young she still was. So glad she had true love in her husband and in the end. She truly was a talented performer and comedic actress. RIP to one of most underrated actresses! 🙏❤🤣
