Lois Nettleton 1927 - 2008 was a lovely versatile and gifted actress and is perhaps best known for her film work in the 1960s and 70s and later enjoyed a long career as a character actress in television and in film. Miss Nettleton was crowned Miss Chicago in 1948 and went on from there to develop an acting career first on stage at Chicago's Goodman Theatre and then in New York at the Actor’s Studio where she made her Broadway debut in the 1949 production "The Biggest Thief in Town" under the stage name Lydia Scott. In 1955 she was Barbara Bel Geddes's understudy in the role of Maggie in the original Broadway production of Tennessee Williams Pulitzer-Prize winning play "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" staged and directed by the great Elia Kazan during which time she was able to appear on stage several times. She received the prestigious Clarence Derwent Award for her acting in the play "God and Kate Murphy." Some of her films include Period of Adjustment 1962 Mail Order Bride 1964 The Man in the Glass Booth 1975 and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 1982. Over the years she made many appearances on television in both dramatic and comedic roles and won Emmy’s for her work on a daytime special "The American Woman: Profiles in Courage" 1977 and for "A Gun for Mandy" 1983 an episode of a religious-themed series "Insight." Her appearance in the classic television series The Twilight Zone in the episode "The Midnight Sun" is a must-see fan favorite. She was married for a time to the radio and television humorist and writer Jean Shepherd and also appeared with him in his off-Broadway play "Look Charlie" in 1959. She wowed critics and audiences with her performance of Blanche DuBois in a 1973 Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and was nominated for a Tony Award for her work in the 1976 play They Knew What They Wanted by Sidney Howard.
