Born Harriet Lake on January 22nd 1909 in Valley City, North Dakota .Her film career started as an extra in the film Broadway Nights in 1927. She would work as an extra for the next six years. It barely paid the bills. Finally Ann got her break with Columbia Pictures when they signed her to a contract in 1934. Her first film for Columbia was in the film The Parties Over. The work was getting better and a bit more lucrative as she would be in 11 movies in 1934 and 1935. It wasn't riches but it was better than being just an extra. The films weren't much to write home about either. Ann was dropped by Columbia in 1936 and she signed with RKO Pictures. Where she played in a number of forgettable productions such as Dangerous Number (1937) and She`s Got Everything (1938). Ann left RKO two years later and played Jean Livingstone in Trade Winds which landed her a contract with MGM. In 1939, Ann starred in Maise which would turn into a series of ten films with the last being Undercover Maise in 1947. In between she starred in such movies as Dulcy (1940), Thousand Cheers (1943), and Three Hearts For Julia (1943). During the 1950's, she played in only four films. By this time, however, Ann had turned to the relatively new medium television, where she would attract legions of new fans. In 1953 she played the role of Susie in My Private Secretary which ran until 1957. The quality and comedy was said to be quite good but unfortunately it doesn't run anywhere in syndicated re-runs. In 1958 she starred in The Ann Sothern Show, as Katy O'Connor, which ran until 1961. In 1965 she would be the voice in My Mother The Car . This was a story about a man (Jerry Van Dyke) who bought a 1928 Porter and lo and behold, it was 'Mom". The 1970's and 1980's were drought ridden for Ann, but she was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as Tisha Doughty in 1987's The Wales Of August which although she didn`t win was a pretty cool sign off on a long spanning show business career . She retired soon after to Ketchum Idaho and passed away March 15th 2001 aged 92
