From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJanet Beecher (October 21, 1884 – August 6, 1955) was an American stage and screen actress.Beecher was a supporting player and lead on the Broadway stage between the 1900s and 1940s. Her Broadway debut came in The Education of Mr. Pipp (1905). Her final Broadway play was The Late George Apley (1944).Between 1915 and 1943, she appeared in about fifty motion pictures. She remains perhaps best-remembered as a character actress during Hollywoods golden age, often seen in roles as firm but compassionate matriarchs. She was known for her roles as Ginger Rogers mother in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939), Tyrone Powers mother in the adventure film The Mark of Zorro (1940), and Henry Fondas mother in Preston Sturges screwball comedy The Lady Eve (1941). She retired from film business in 1943, but managed to play a role in the television series Lux Video Theatre in 1952.
