Peggy Rea
Peggy Jane Rea (March 31, 1921 – February 5, 2011) was a Los Angeles-born American actress known for her many roles in television, often playing matronly characters.〔(Peggy Rea, TV Actress With Matronly Aura, Dies at 89 ) ''New York Times'', February 11, 2011; page B15.〕
==Life and career==
Before she became an actress, Rea left UCLA to attend business school. She landed a job as a production secretary at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s. Later, she was an assistant to writer-musician Kay Thompson until Thompson dropped her in April 1948. Some of the points of discord apparently included Rea's insistence on staying at the Algonquin Hotel (rather than Essex House, where Thompson was staying), and disappearing, on at least one occasion, on the eve of their New York opening to see ''Born Yesterday'' on Broadway without telling Thompson. "The time had come for Peggy to make her mark as the character actress she was born to be. She quickly landed on her feet with a supporting role in the National Road Company production of Tennessee Williams' ''A Streetcar Named Desire''" (as Eunice Hubbell, 1948-49) starring Anthony Quinn. Thompson severed ties with Rea, however the younger woman kept in touch with other members of Thompson's family, including Thompson's mother, brother and younger sister, with whom she enjoyed cordial relations.〔(Kay Thompson official website ), May 5, 2013; accessed July 26, 2015.〕
She appeared in such television programs as ''I Love Lucy'', ''Hazel'', ''Bonanza'', ''Have Gun Will Travel'', ''Gunsmoke'', ''Sergeant Bilko'', ''Ironside'', ''Burke's Law'', ''Marcus Welby, M.D.'', ''All In The Family'', ''Hunter'', ''The Odd Couple'', ''Gidget'', ''Busting Loose'', ''MacGyver'', ''The Dukes of Hazzard'' (as Lulu Coltrane Hogg) and ''The Golden Girls''.〔
She appeared in feature films, including ''Cold Turkey'' and ''In Country''. She joined the cast of ''The Waltons'' in 1979 as Rose Burton, a cousin of Olivia Walton, as sort of a surrogate parental figure replacing ''Ellen Corby'' (Grandma), ''Michael Learned'' (Olivia), and the following year, ''Ralph Waite'' (John). (She'd also previously appeared in a 1978 episode of ''The Waltons,'' playing a landlady.) Rea remained with the series until the spring of 1981 when her character of Rose married her beau Stanley Perkins (played by ''William Schallert'') shortly before the show's cancellation. Rea's character of Rose appeared in the Walton's Thanksgiving Reunion in 1993. Rea later appeared as a regular on the sitcom ''Grace Under Fire'' during the 1990s.
