Ruth Warrick Facts
In July 2000, she refused to accept a lifetime achievement award from the South Carolina Arts Commission because she was offended by legislators' decision to move the Confederate flag from the state Capitol dome to another spot on the grounds in response to a boycott of the state by flag opponents. A life-long supporter of African-American rights, she felt the flag should be removed completely, and commented, "In my view, this was no compromise. It was a deliberate affront to the African-Americans who see it as a sign of oppression and hate.".

Appeared very briefly on "All My Children" (1970) in early January of 2005, shortly before her death, to commemorate the soap opera's 35th anniversary.

In 1937, she won a contest to serve as Kansas City's paid ambassador and ended up in New York presenting a live turkey to Mayor Fiorello La Guardia at City Hall. She decided to stay in the big city and found work on radio and with the Mercury Theatre troupe headed by Orson Welles.
