MINI BIO:
Blanche Yurka had an inimitable mellow voice and hollow-set eyes. A former opera singer, she made her name on the Broadway stage in the early 1920s, and became a Hollywood character actress with her memorably brooding "Madame DeFarge" (I was the 67th actress to test for the part) in 1935's A Tale of Two Cities. She died from arteriosclerosis.
