"Kitty Kelly",, was an United States/American stage and film character actress. She was best known as a member of the Ziegfeld Follies and her radio hosting with Columbia Broadcasting. One of her best remembered roles is that of Lt. Ethel Armstrong in the 1943 Paramount Pictures/Paramount wartime drama So Proudly We Hail!. However, she is probably more infamously remembered in the Hal Roach Our Gang comedy short Beginner's Luck, which was released by M-G-M in 1935. In that film, Kelly was cast as the pushy stage mother of George "Spanky" McFarland/Spanky McFarland. Thanks to his friends, she finds herself an unwitting victim, as well as a laughing stock, in the gang's attempt to sabotage and ruin Spanky's Shakespearean stage act in a talent competition.

After the war, she appeared in many TV series (including Bonanza, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Batman (TV series)/Batman and Perry Mason, from which she made four guest appearances including the role of Millie Foster in the 1958 episode, "The Case of the Rolling Bones."
