Bud Abbott's longsuffering wife

Bud Abbott, of the famous comedy team, was married to Betty Smith for over 50 years. The character of Mrs. Abbott was a regular on the radio show. She was continually being insulted by and getting into fights with Lou Costello. Smith was a vaudeville performer with Abbott, but I have not been able to discover whether or not she played herself on the radio show.
