Susan Gaye Tolsky (born April 6, 1943) is an American actress and voice actress. Her career began in the late 1960s when she had a main role as Biddie Cloom on the ABC comedy Western series Here Come the Brides (1968–70). She was also a series regular on the variety series The New Bill Cosby Show (1972–73). Her film credits include supporting roles in Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971), Charley and the Angel (1973), and Record City (1977). Following guest appearances on several sitcoms throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Tolsky was part of the main cast on the syndicated sitcom Madame's Place (1982–83) as Bernadette Van Gilder.

Beginning in the early 1990s, Tolsky worked exclusively as a voice actress in animated television. She had recurring roles as Aunt Ruth on Bobby's World (1990–98), Binkie Muddlefoot on Darkwing Duck (1991–92), and Aunt Janie on Pepper Ann (1997–2000), in addition to other episodic voice roles on several other animated series. Her most recent credit is The Buzz on Maggie (2005–06), where she voiced Mrs. Pesky, the mother of the titular character, throughout the series' one-season run on Disney Channel.

Early life[]

Susan Gaye Tolsky[1] was born on April 6, 1943,[2] in Houston, Texas, to shop owners Sarah (née Hartstein) and Abe Tolsky.[3][4][5] She is of Russian descent.[6] She has one sister, Noel.[4] Tolsky attended Bellaire High School, where she grew fond of acting.[4] At age 15, she started volunteering in hospitals.[7][8] When her father advised her not to pursue a career in acting, she enrolled at the University of Texas in Austin to major in nursing.[9] During this time, she worked as a nurse's aide in the Texas Medical Center after school and on weekends.[10] She worked with children at Houston Methodist Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital until officials believed she "could work anywhere" in the medical center.[11] She then began working as a medical technician and was involved in obstetrics and gynecology.[7][10] Initially planning to acquire a degree in medicine and becoming a doctor, she quit during her second year of pre-med. She said, "I quit because of the battle within me. I believe in euthanasia and could not truly shake it from my mind."[7] As "the lure of acting proved strong", she transferred to the Deparment of Drama and switched her major to theater and English.[7][11] She recalled:

I had two loves. I loved medicine and I loved drama. I was working in hospitals when I was fifteen. I started out in medicine for two years, then I switched to drama. It was a very difficult decision. [Particularly since] a lot of girls in those days didn't have an aim, except maybe to get married and have babies. I don't regret my choice or anything.[12]

At university, she regularly appeared in school plays, stating that she "acted [her] head off in everything from Greek tragedy to musical comedy".[9][13] In her senior year, talent scout and casting director Eddie Foy III visited on behalf of the New Talent Program at Screen Gems,[12] and Tolsky auditioned in a scene from Barefoot in the Park.[4] Foy advised her to try acting in Hollywood, where she later moved after graduating with a degree in the fine arts in 1967.[9][14] She shared an apartment in Hollywood, California, with actress Susan Howard.[4] Tolsky frequently visited wholesalers in Los Angeles as a buyer for her parents' shop in Houston.[7]

Acting career[]

1968–1970: Early roles and Here Come the Brides[]

When in Hollywood, Foy was unable to grant Tolsky a contract with Screen Gems, and instead introduced her to people who worked in casting and helped her get an agent.[9] Foy let her join the New Talent Program without being under contract, which allowed her to read new scripts.[15] In 1968, Tolsky made her television debut on an episode of The Second Hundred Years, where she had one line, followed by a small role on an episode of Bewitched, both on ABC.[9] During this time, she worked with the Columbia Pictures Workshop and the Los Angeles Repertory Company to find extra work.[9][13] Howard, a contract actress at Screen Gems, brought home a script for the pilot episode of the comedy Western series Here Come the Brides.[9][16] Howard believed Tolsky was "perfect" for the role of Biddie Cloom, but Foy was less enthused of her chances of securing the part, believing she could not play a character from Massachusetts due to her Southern accent.[9] In January 1968, Tolsky read for the part after convincing Foy,[15][17] and she recalled that the audition was "awful", stating that she was a "nervous wreck".[9] Two weeks later, she landed the role.[9] Tolsky initially struggled with the New England accent, which amused her colleagues.[7]

Written as a minor character, Tolsky had "like three, or four lines" in the pilot episode of Here Come the Brides.[15] The studio tested the pilot with a test audience and Biddie was well-received. Screen Gems then wanted her to sign a contract with the studio, but because they did not offer her a contract from the beginning, she declined. She recalled, "I said, 'I want a contract just to do the show,' because I knew they could have done that when I first came out. They didn't do it, so I said, 'No.'"[15] She then fired her agent who adviced her to sign the contract with Screen Gems, and hired a manager.[15] Tolsky chose not to sign a long-term contract with the studio as she knew that "all too often they mean seven years of forced labor in the wrong roles".[13] A few weeks later, she was given a contract for Here Come the Brides as a series regular.[15][18] The series aired for two seasons from September 1968 to April 1970 on ABC.[16] For the second season, the character Biddie received "more attention" and "Biddie's Theme" was composed. Tolsky recalled, "The second year they gave me a little more latitude – the dimension of my character... they composed 'Biddie's Theme'. When you see Biddie walking, she has her own theme, and I was enormously honored by that because I was not in the regular cast – I came in on a fluke."[19]

1971–1979: Film debut and The New Bill Cosby Show[]

Tolsky made her film debut in Roger Vadim's comedy-mystery film Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) as Miss Craymire, the secretary of Rock Hudson's character.[20][21] The film received generally negative reviews in the press,[22] and was described as a "sex satire-murder mystery".[23] After viewing the final product at a preview, Tolsky told Vadim, "Now I know why I'm the only girl in the movie who didn't get asked to take off her clothes."[7][24] Tolsky was slated to appear in Dirty Little Billy (1972) as the Texan girlfriend of Michael J. Pollard's title character, but the plans fell through.[25] In 1972, Tolsky guest starred on the season four finale of the CBS sitcom Here's Lucy, starring Lucille Ball and her daughter Lucie Arnaz.[26] The episode was a backdoor pilot for a proposed spin-off starring Arnaz. Tolsky was one of three finalists for the role of Arnaz's best friend Sue Ann Ditbenner and she landed the role after reading for the part at Ball's home.[27] The spin-off was ultimately not picked up by the network.[28] Tolsky then guest starred as another character, Miss Quigley, on a season five episode of Here's Lucy.[29]

In the early 1970s, Tolsky regularly appeared as a guest on talk shows by Merv Griffin and Virginia Graham. Following an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show, producer George Schlatter took notice of her and enlisted her for the main cast of The New Bill Cosby Show (1972–73), a variety series hosted by Bill Cosby on CBS.[7][30] The cast portrayed themselves and different characters in sketches. Cosby told the New York Daily News that he "fought and won a battle" with the network to not establish Tolsky's character as a "dumb dame".[31] In an interview prior to the series premiere, he stated, "Susan will be smart but different. She won't be a nasal sounding dumb person as they wanted to make her."[31] The variety series premiered in September 1972 and was canceled after one season.[32] The series was met with mixed reactions from critics, although Tolsky's performance was better received.[33][34][35]

Tolsky's next film credit was Charley and the Angel (1973), a Disney comedy film directed by Vincent McEveety, in which she portrayed the character Miss Partridge.[36] While reviewing the film, the Austin American-Statesman's Marjorie Hoffman wrote that Tolsky "has a few good scenes as a self-admiring spinster".[37] From 1972 to 1973, Tolsky acted on two episodes of ABC's anthology television series Love, American Style.[38][39] She was a contestant on the ABC game show The Dating Game in September 1973,[40] and appeared as a celebrity guest on the game show Showoffs for a week in August 1975.[41] In the later part of the decade, she acted in the comedy film Record City (1977) and Stan Dragoti's comedy horror film Love at First Bite (1979).[42][43] Tolsky starred in the television pilot Front Page Feeney with Don Knotts, which aired in syndication in August 1977.[44][45] She also made episodic appearances on the drama series Quincy, M.E. (1977) and Fantasy Island (1978),[46][47] and portrayed Mammy Yokum in a Li'l Abner television special, the musical film Li'l Abner in Dogpatch Today (1978).[48]

1980–2006: Madame's Place and voice acting[]

In the 1980s, Tolsky appeared on four episodes of the CBS sitcom Alice, portraying different one-time characters, from 1980 to 1983.[49] She appeared in the films How to Beat the High Cost of Living (1980), directed by Robert Scheerer, and The Devil and Max Devlin (1981), directed by Steven Hilliard Stern.[50][51] She also guest starred on two episodes of the ABC sitcom Barney Miller in 1981 and 1982.[52] The scripts were not finished as the episodes were being filmed. Tolsky said, "We went there, and they would bring down like two pages and then they'd be 'Okay, everybody have a break and we'll come down with some more pages.'"[27] She said the cast and crew were "wonderful", and that the experience as a whole was "joyous" even if they had to wait for the scripts to be finished.[27] Tolsky said that "pleasant experiences" on set became "less and less common by the 1980s"; she recalled, "The fifties and sixties and seventies – that was a wonderful era."[27]

In 1982, Tolsky earned her third main role on television on Madame's Place (1982–83), a comedy series about a puppet, controlled by Wayland Flowers, named Madame who hosts a late-night talk show from her mansion. Tolsky portrayed Bernadette Van Gilder, Madame's shy secretary.[53] Madame's Place had a very rushed shooting schedule and aired five days a week in first-run syndication.[53][54] According to Tolsky, 75 episodes were shot in fifteen weeks, and she considers it one of her "most enjoyable" experiences after Here Come the Brides.[55] She said, "We had a fabulous crew on that ... We did a show a day, so we did have a close crew."[55] Madame's Place was well-received by television critics and viewers alike.[53][56][57] Tolsky's final film credit is the 1986 comedy crime film The Longshot, in which she played the character Dee,[58] and her last on-screen appearance is on an episode of the television series Webster in 1988.[59]

After her guest role on Webster, Tolsky worked exclusively as a voice actress.[19][60] She first started voice acting on the NBC animated children's television series Foofur (1986–88), where she voiced Annabell.[61] She lent her voice to several animated television series in the 1990s; she had recurring roles as Aunt Ruth on Bobby's World (1990–98), Binkie Muddlefoot on Darkwing Duck (1991–92), Scara on Aladdin (1994), and Aunt Janie, the aunt of the titular character on Pepper Ann (1997–2000).[62][63][64][65] She also voiced characters in single episodes of several animated Disney productions, including TaleSpin (1991), Goof Troop (1992), and Jungle Cubs (1996).[66][67][68] Tolsky's most recent credit is the Disney Channel animated comedy series The Buzz on Maggie (2005–06), where she was part of the main cast. She provided the voice of Mrs. Pesky, the mother of the title character.[65] The series premiered in June 2005 to a positive response from television critics, who praised its humor, voice acting, and writing.[69][70][71] The Buzz on Maggie was canceled after one season, airing its final episode in May 2006.[72]

Personal life[]

Tolsky dated actor Christopher Stone, whom she met on the set of Here Come the Brides in the late 1960s, for five years.[19][73] Tolsky's interest in medicine remained after quitting pre-med; she continued to read medical dictionaries and her social circle consisted of people working in the field. While visiting friends in hospitals, she had "this fantasy and make believe" the speaker operator would call for "Dr. Tolsky".[7] She also has an interest in cooking, which she describes as her "special thing".[6] Her recipe for one-layer chocolate cake appeared in the Valley News and Green Sheet in February 1970.[6] In the 1970s, Tolsky resided in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley.[6][7]

Tolsky considers herself a character actress, stating that she realized at a young age that she was "one of those girls who had a good personality".[12] She said, "I really wasn't what you'd call 'beautiful' ... I realized quite young that if I made people laugh, I could go anywhere."[12] In an interview in 2007, Tolsky commented that she rarely watches her own work. At the time she was still receiving fan mail because of Here Come the Brides. She said, "It's shocking that people still remember that show ... They come up and they go, 'You're Biddie.' I'm honored that people remember things like that."[19]
