Ruth Gordon
Ruth Gordon Jones (October 30, 1896 – August 28, 1985), better known as Ruth Gordon, was an American film, stage, and television actress, as well as screenwriter and playwright.〔Obituary ''Variety'', September 4, 1985.〕 Gordon began her career performing on Broadway at age nineteen. She gained international visibility and critical acclaim for film roles which continued into her seventies and eighties. Her later work included performances in ''Rosemary's Baby'' (1968), ''Harold and Maude'' (1971), and the Clint Eastwood films ''Every Which Way but Loose'' (1978) and ''Any Which Way You Can'' (1980).
In addition to her acting career, Gordon wrote numerous plays, film scripts and books, most notably co-writing the screenplay for the 1949 film ''Adam's Rib''. Gordon won an Academy Award, an Emmy and two Golden Globe awards for her acting, as well as receiving three Academy Award nominations for her writing.
==Early life==
Gordon was born at 31 Marion Street in Quincy, Massachusetts.〔''Current Biography 1943''. pp.238-41.〕 She was the only child of Annie Tapley (née Ziegler) and Clinton Jones, a factory foreman who had been a ship's captain. She was baptized an Episcopalian; her first appearance in the public eye came as an infant when her photograph was used in advertising for her father's employer, ''Mellin's Food for Infants & Invalids.'' Prior to graduating from Quincy High School, she wrote to several of her favorite actresses for autographed pictures. A personal reply she received from Hazel Dawn (whom she had seen in a stage production of ''The Pink Lady'') inspired her to go into acting.〔 Although her father was skeptical of her chances of success in a difficult profession, he took his daughter to New York in 1914, where he enrolled her in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
