When Hollywood needs a little old lady type, they call on Canadian born actress Frances Bay. Hailing from Dauphin Manitoba, Frances enjoyed success in all forms of the art of acting from stage to the silver screen. With over 150 TV and Film credits, you may not know the name Frances Bay but you do know her face and characters.

She’s a favorite of David Lynch (one of ReelHeART’s favorite directors) being in Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks.

Highlights of her successful career are roles such as Fonzie’s Grandma in Happy Days, Grandma Gilmore in Happy Gilmore with Adam Sandler and Mabel Choate as the rye bread lady in Seinfeld—

We all hope she got her marble rye bread back!
