Lurene Tuttle - versatile actress

If you have listened at all to old radio programs, you probably have heard the voice of Lurene Tuttle, one of the busiest and most versatile of actresses. She sometimes appeared in fifteen shows a week, and was known as "the first lady of radio." Among her regular roles were Sam Spade's secretary Effie and the Great Gildersleeve's niece Marjorie.

Howard Duff (Sam Spade) delivered the eulogy at her funeral.

"Dear Lurene, Thank you for pulling me through so many broadcasts---fondly, Ronnie." - a note she received from Oscar winner Ronald Colman.
