Portia Nelson

Portia Nelson (May 27, 1920 – March 6, 2001) was an American popular singer, songwriter, actress, and author. She was best known for her appearances in the most prestigious 1950s cabarets, where she sang an elegant repertoire in a soprano noted for its silvery tone, perfect diction, intimacy, and meticulous attention to words. In 1965 she portrayed the cantankerous Sister Berthe in the film version of ''The Sound of Music''; she also had a minor role as Sarah in the musical ''Doctor Dolittle''; on TV’s ''All My Children'' Nelson played the long-running role of nanny Mrs. Gurney. Her book of poetic musings, ''There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery'', became a mainstay of twelve-step programs.〔Obituary, “Portia Nelson, 80, Songwriter and Club Performer,” Stephen Holden, ''New York Times'', Mar. 10, 2001〕
==Early life and education==
The youngest of nine children, Nelson was born Betty Mae Nelson in Brigham City, Utah. (The Danish family name of Nielsen had been anglicized before her birth.) Her Mormon family owned a farm; her father was also a railroad worker. At a young age, Nelson taught herself to play piano; after two years at Weber College in Ogden, Utah she quit school and moved to Los Angeles.
