Irene Ryan made her fame on the TV sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies in the late fifties. Everyone remembers her as the cantankerous old granny, and she was really a dedicated thespian who never stopped performing even after that. She was known for donating a lot of money to young actors, and even when she was seventy-two years old she was in a production of Pippin on Broadway. Knowing that she had a brain tumor, she still went out and performed and died on stage.
