Bernardine Flynn (2 January 1904 – 20 March 1977) was an American radio actress and announcer best known for playing the role of Sade Gook on the long-running comic radio serial ''Vic and Sade''. Born in 1904, Flynn graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (Class of 1926), moving to Chicago in 1927. In Chicago, Flynn became a radio actress and announcer. She was used as a radio announcer, a rarity for women in the 1920s, as she was known for controlling her emotions. This quality of not becoming emotional was exploited in the ''Vic and Sade'' show, where she would play the role of straight man to the comic daffiness. In 1932, Paul Rhymer chose Flynn to play Sade as the character lacked a sense of humor. Even in the most humorous of situations, Flynn's emotional self-control ensured that Sade would never break character. The 15-minute program was aired from 1932 to 1945, and in 1946, it was put back on the air as a one-hour show. Flynn appeared in both of the television incarnations of ''Vic and Sade'', the only cast member to appear in both the 1949 ''Colgate Theater'' episodes and the 1957 revival ''The Humor of Vic 'n' Sade''. She also had the lead role in the first American TV soap opera, ''Hawkins Falls, Population 6200,'' which ran on NBC from 1951 to 1955. ==Personal life== Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Flynn married the physician Chester C. Doherty in 1933. Dr. Doherty later became an associate professor at Northwestern University Medical School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZF9grKU0QSo/T3Q8tfOCQfI/AAAAAAAAL6Y/T4zdjlSjC0c/s640/flynn.jpg )〕 The couple had had two sons, Anthony and Bill. During World War Two, while Dr. Doherty was serving as a flight surgeon in the Army Air Corps at several bases in the US, Flynn also worked as a radio reporter for a daily news program. After ''Vic and Sade'' completed its run on the radio, Flynn joined the touring company of "Apple of His Eye," which starred Walter Huston. She retired from broadcasting in 1957 (the same year Art Van Harvey, who played Vic on ''Vic and Sade'', died).In 1964 she moved to Clay City, Illinois, her husband's home town. She died in a hospital at Olney, Illinois 1977 at the age of 73.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernardine Flynn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
