Lurene Tuttle (August 29, 1907,
Pleasant Lake, Indiana - May 28, 1986,
Encino, California) was a character actress, who made transitions from
vaudeville to
radio, to
films and
television. Her most enduring impact was as one of network radio's most versatile actresses. Often appearing in 15 shows a week, comedies, dramas, thrillers, soap operas, and crime dramas, and back she became known as the First Lady of Radio.
She became interested in acting after her family moved to
Southern California, appearing in
Pasadena Playhouse productions before joining the
vaudeville troupe, Murphy's Comedians. By the
Great Depression, Tuttle had put her remarkable vocal versatility to work in radio, and within a decade she became one of the most in-demand actresses in the medium.
