#Quote
1Her mother died on September 9, 1963, at the age of 76. The loss of Ellen's mother left an emptiness that could never be filled. "A great deal of me disappeared with her. She was a large part of my life-much more than my husband ever was".
2"I can't go anywhere without meeting someone I worked with. When the children on 'The Waltons' heard that I worked with Laurel and Hardy, I was in".
#Fact
1Corby was quoted as saying that her first acting job was in "Twisted Rails" according to the April 1985 issue of "Films in Review.".
2Played Edgar Bergen's wife twice - once as Aunt Trina in "I Remember Mama", and once as Grandma Walton in "The Homecoming".
3Ellen Corby was an enthusiastic practitioner of Transcendental Meditation, and was trained by its founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in 1969, as a TM teacher.
4Replaced Jessica Tandy as Aunt Trina in I Remember Mama (1948) after Tandy dropped out of the project in order to pursue A Woman's Vengeance (1948).
5In March of 2000, she was left out of the yearly "In Memoriam" segment of the The 72nd Annual Academy Awards (2000). Ellen, who was once nominated for an Oscar for her Supporting Role in I Remember Mama (1948), had really only played small bit parts in motion pictures for twenty years, before she became majorly noticed on television's The Waltons (1971). The Academy chose instead to memorialize another small bit part actor in films, Henry Jones.
6Returned for The Waltons (1971)' last show of the 1977-1978 season.
7Suffered a serious stroke in 1976.
8She spent 11 years as an unpaid script assistant at Poverty Row Pictures before becoming an actress(Her mother prepared all the lunches for staff).
