Timeline

1879

Laura Hope Crews (December 12, 1879 – November 12, 1942) was an American actress.

1898

She stopped acting to finish school and then returned to acting in 1898.

In 1898, Crews performed in San Francisco as an ingenue with the Alcazar Stock Company.

Two years later, she and her mother moved to New York City, where Crews began to act with the Henry V. Donnelly Stock Company.

1906

As she was a native San Franciscan, the records pertaining to her early life were destroyed in the earthquake and fire of 1906.

Most of Crews' formal education came in San Jose, as the family had moved there following the remarriage of Crews' mother.

1920

In the late 1920s, and because of her years as a stage actress, Crews had been hired as a voice coach by Gloria Swanson to help with her transition to talking pictures.

1921

Crews appeared in plays written by A.A. Milne, who was particularly impressed by her work in his Mr. Pim Passes By (1921).

The play was a big success and ran for 232 performances on Broadway.

1924

In 1924 she starred in The Werewolf for a run of 112 Broadway performances.

1925

Crews also starred as Judith Bliss in the original Broadway production of Noël Coward's Hay Fever (1925), which she co-directed with Coward.

1926

She also appeared in The Silver Cord, written by Sidney Howard, which was produced by the New York Theater Guild in 1926 and ran for 212 performances.

When The Silver Cord was not being presented, there were matinee performances of Right You Are If You Think You Are by Luigi Pirandello.

1930

Although she is best remembered today for her later work as a character actress in motion pictures of the 1930s, she also was prolific on stage; among her films roles was the role of Aunt Pittypat in Gone with the Wind.

Crews was the daughter of stage actress Angelena Lockwood and backstage carpenter John Thomas Crews.

She had three older siblings.

Crews started acting at age four.

Her first stage appearance was at Woodward's Gardens.

1933

The Silver Cord was later made into a 1933 RKO movie with Crews reprising her onstage role of the mother.

The film co-starred Joel McCrea, Frances Dee, and Irene Dunne.

1936

George Cukor, who had directed her in Camille (1936), recommended her for the role of Aunt Pittypat in Gone with the Wind (1939) after Billie Burke declined it.

Cukor wanted Crews to play the role "in a Billie Burke-ish manner" with "the same zany feeling".

1942

Her final stage appearance came in 1942, in the original Broadway run of Arsenic and Old Lace in which she replaced one of the original cast members.

She stayed with the production for more than a year and a half on Broadway and in a touring company before she was forced to leave because of illness.

Crews died in the LeRoy Sanitarium in New York City in 1942, following an illness of four months.

Some sources say that the illness in which she suffered from was kidney failure.

She was laid to rest at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, California.

Crews has a star at 6251 Hollywood Boulevard on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Crews was also the first credited cast member of Gone with the Wind to die.
