From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Billie Bird (February 28, 1908 — November 27, 2002), was an American actress and comedienne born Berneice Bird in Pocatello, Idaho.
Bird was orphaned young and made a career as an entertainer, first in vaudeville, and later in theater/cabaret, television, and movies.
She is credited on the Internet Movie Database with an appearance in a 1921 movie, but it is not clear if this is accurate. Otherwise, she broke into movies in 1950. Her last film appearance was in 1995.
She was a regular (as "Mrs. Philbert") on the TV series Dear John with Judd Hirsch, and on the TV series Hail to the Chief, with Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke playing the first woman President.
She was married to Edwin Sellen, who died in 1966, by whom she had 3 children.
She died in 2002 in Granada Hills, California at the age of 94 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
