Babe London
Babe London (August 28, 1901 – November 29, 1980) was an American actress and comedian, most remembered for her onetime-only partnership with Oliver Hardy, in the 1931's Laurel and Hardy's two-reeler ''Our Wife''.
==Career==
Born Jean Glover in 1901 in Des Moines, Iowa, London began her screen career as a teenager making her film debut in ''The Expert Eloper'' in 1919. She then appeared in ''A Day's Pleasure'', performing opposite Charlie Chaplin. The two played seasick tourists on an excursion boat. London appeared in more than 50 silent films, including ''The Perfect Flapper'', ''The Boob'' and the 1928 version of ''Tillie's Punctured Romance'' starring W. C. Fields. She worked with all the funny men of the day, including Harry Langdon and Chester Conklin.
At the height of her career, London weighed 255 pounds. Later, a heart condition necessitated a loss of 100 pounds, and her movie offers declined along with her weight. She never regained her earlier success. Her last most notable role was that of the toothless nurse Nora that Shemp Howard has eyes for in the Three Stooges film ''Scrambled Brains''. Her last film appearance was in 1960's ''Sex Kittens Go to College''.
In the late 1950s, London began a second career as a painter and devoted the last 20 years of her life to depicting on canvas the early years of Hollywood. She titled the series ''The Vanishing Era.''
