Despite her permanent association with the role, she successfully avoided typecasting and enjoyed a lengthy career in film, television, where she appeared on The Addams Family and was a regular on the soap opera The Secret Storm, and even in television commercials where in her 70s she portrayed the kindly merchant Cora praising Maxwell House coffee.

Jack HylesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And we just go from one to the other, just enjoying ourselves and talking a little bit, and we'll gossip a little bit, and we'll criticize somebody a little bit, and read some more magazine, and then go out and go talk to somebody a while longer, and just chit-chat and fellowship one with the other.
