Hope Emerson

Highest Rated: 96% Adam's Rib (1949)

Lowest Rated: 50% Caged (1950)

Birthday: Oct 29, 1897

Birthplace: Hawarden, Iowa, USA

The 6'2" tall, 230-pound Hope Emerson, with her dark, curly hair, trademarked sidelong stares and grimly set mouth, may be primarily remembered for her unique and unforgettable physical presence. Most often cast in villainous roles in both comedy and drama, this giant and imposing figure could strike fear into any woman or man. Such memories, however, unjustly obscure the highly talented and surprisingly versatile actress inside.
