Lois Kibbee (July 13, 1922 – October 18, 1993) was an American actress. Kibbee was born in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The daughter of actor Milton Kibbee and the niece of actor Guy Kibbee, Lois is best remembered for portrayal of wealthy Geraldine Weldon Whitney Saxon on the CBS/ABC daytime soap opera ''The Edge of Night'', where she appeared from 1970–71 and 1973-84. Her character started off as a stern matriarch but later in the run, the show utilized her flair for comedy. Her interaction with the show's younger characters made her the show's most popular actress in the "Q" rating polls. In the interim, she portrayed frosty matriarch Emily Moore Matson on NBC's ''Somerset'' from 1972-73 whose eccentric family was involved in a murder storyline centered on "Jingles the Clown". Later in her career she played powerful matriarch Elizabeth Sanders on ABC's ''One Life to Live'' (from 1986–88 and again in 1989). Her character was a business rival of Philip Carey's Asa Buchannan, as well as the grandmother of Kate Sanders, played by Marcia Cross. She also had a role in the film ''Caddyshack'' as Mrs. Smalls, Ted Knight's Margaret Dumont like wife who gets the shock of her life when she supervises the cleaning up of a pool where Bill Murray's character eats a Baby Ruth candy bar, which Kibbee and Knight assume to be human feces. Kibbee died of a brain tumor on October 18, 1993, in New York City. ==Writing career== Kibbee was also a writer on ''The Edge of Night'' and co-wrote the book "The Bennett Playbill" about the life of the Bennett acting family, particularly film, stage and television star, Joan Bennett. While Henry Slesar was headwriter for the CBS soap Capitol, Kibbee briefly contributed a few scripts as well. 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「Lois Kibbee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
