Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch 2

Bill Fields appearence in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch 1934.
With Zazu Pitts ... bless her.

[@marstondavis]

There was nobody like him before nor since. Truly one of a kind. Thank God we have him on film to enjoy forever.

[@windstorm1000]

Amen!

Agree 💯%

[@tommysfather]

Za Zu Pits never turned in a bad performance! She is perfection! On top of all that she is darn well cute to boot.

[@artmoss6889]

I agree, she was adorable, especially in her silent films. I think that because she was so often cast in roles that required her to play mousey spinsters, people overlooked her beauty.

[@seeharvester]

Not to mention a great cook.

"Bring on the provender!" Many generations before my own, but I enjoy Mr. Field's work more than any other of the era. He is an iconic character like few other.

[@Rocksite1]

He's always coming up with obscure, fancy-sounding words that sound humorous.

[@Horzzo]

@@Rocksite1 For sure! You made me think of another one from "Poppy". He says "How is your mutar? Your mustard?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZDNc4KGoKmsrLs

Zuzu pitts was a real beauty.. ( see her in Greed) and a classic comedienne, and character actor.. who had an extremely long career. Always glad to see her !

[@counterflow5719]

She had a cameo appearance in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. I believe it was her final role.

Ain't she the Pitts 💙💚💛💜

[@John_21601]

I was going to ask if she voiced Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoons. Turns out Mae Questel did that, but she based the voice on Za Zu.

[@artmoss6889]

I always thought her name was pronounced with a "z," but according to the woman herself, her first name should sound, "Say-zu."

"The hours of your maiden meditations are numbered!" What a verbal gift he had; he always kills me!

fun to see Zasu Pitts. She was a fun actress to watch. Her eyes always caught my attention.

[@jackanthony976]

I heard that she was a commie but she absolved herself in front of the McCarthy committee investigating pinkos in Hollywood.

[@gerardorcastellanos950]

JACK ANTHONY You’re talking about the Fascist Joe alcoholic McCarthy hearings? The ones that are a stain on the U.S Constitution? Lying sack of shit McCarthy also called President Eisenhower a commie. Glad that h

[@darknessanddistance4469]

According to Maé Questel, lwho voiced Betty boop and Olive Oyll for Fleischer studios, Zasu was the inspiration for her vocal interpretation of Ólive Oyl.

"albeit from me to bedazzle a lady with flattery..." W.C.'s dialogue is unique to him and his culture at the time. But, no one spoke as did (in common parlance) -- even then. He is beloved.
