Jean Adair (June 13, 1873 - May 11, 1953) was a Canadian actress. Born as Violet McNaughton in Hamilton, Ontario, she worked primarily on stage but also made several film appearances late in her career, most notably as one of Cary Grant's dotty old aunts in ''Arsenic and Old Lace'', a role she originated on Broadway. Her final performance was as the beloved matriarch Rebecca Nurse in the original production of ''The Crucible''. Like many stage actresses of her era, she also appeared in vaudeville.〔Laurie, Joe, Jr. ''Vaudeville: From the Honky-tonks to the Palace'' New York: Henry Holt, 1953; page 50〕 She was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and died in New York City, New York, at age 79. ==Filmography== * ''Advice to the Lovelorn'' (1933) (uncredited) * ''Arsenic and Old Lace'' (1944) as Aunt Martha Brewster * ''Living in a Big Way'' (1947) as Abigail Morgan * ''Something in the Wind'' (1947) * ''The Naked City'' (1948) 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「Jean Adair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
