A Little L’Amour, L’Amour for Mary Boland

Once Upon a Screen is remembering Mary Boland today (January 28, 1882 – June 23, 1965) with some sights and sounds. The great character actor, comedienne enjoyed a forty-year career on film and television leaving us plenty to enjoy.  This is a drop-in-the-bucket tribute to one of the greats.

Oh, l’amour, l’amour
