Billie Burke

Mary William Ethelbert Appleton "Billie" Burke (August 7, 1884 – May 14, 1970) was an American actress, famous on Broadway and in early silent film, but is primarily known to modern audiences as Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the movie musical ''The Wizard of Oz''. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1938 for her performance as Emily Kilbourne in ''Merrily We Live'' and is also remembered for her appearances in the '' Topper'' series. Billie Burke was the wife of Broadway producer Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., of Ziegfeld Follies fame, from 1914 until his death in 1932. Her voice was unique in intonation, which she accentuated in her later character roles as dim-witted, spoiled society types.
==Early life==
She was born Mary William Ethelbert Appleton Burke, the daughter of Blanche (née Beatty 1844-1921) and William "Billy" Burke. She toured the United States and Europe with her father, who was a singer and clown, and worked for the Barnum & Bailey Circus. Her family ultimately settled in London where she attended plays in the West End. In 1903 she began acting on stage, making her debut in London in ''The School Girl''.〔("''The School Girl'' a Hit" ). ''The New York Times'', May 10, 1903, accessed February 20, 2011〕 Other London shows included ''The Duchess of Dantzic'' (1903) and ''The Blue Moon'' (1904). She eventually returned to America to star in Broadway musical comedies.
