Nedra Volz

An apple dumpling of a darling character actress Nedra Volz had one of those slightly vacant twinklyeyed faces absolutely designed for light sitcoms and commercial work Although she didnt come into her own until past retirement age she enjoyed a solid twodecade ride delightfully amusing audiences all over The diminutive Iowa native was born in a trunk to vaudeville parents in 1908 and was immediately thrust onto the stage as Baby Nedra in tent shows and similar venues A band singer and radio performer in her early adult years maternal instincts took over after marrying her husband in 1944 and she raised two children But the spark never completely died In the 1950s she was performing again in community theater shows
