ZaSu Pitts (January 3, 1894 – June 7, 1963) (pronounced /ˈzeɪsuː ˈpɪts/) was an American film actress who starred in many silent dramas, although later, her career digressed to comedy sound films. She overcame her unglamorous looks and wallflower tendencies by basing her stage and screen persona on them in scores of comedies.

– "They say I was in 500 films, everything but the newsreels."

On my first day at a studio something happened which was destined to change the whole course of my life. I met Frances Marion, who was writing almost all of Mary Pickford's screen stories. After we had talked for a little while she took my hand and led me into the dressing room of "America's sweetheart." I was so awe-struck that I stood before this world-renowned star like a puppet on a slack string.

"Mary, this is ZaSu Pitts," Frances was saying. "Don't you think she would be a perfect casting for the role of Becky opposite you?"

In the long silence that followed I was sure they would hear my heart thumping. Finally Mary smiled and said, "It's the part of a slavey–my best friend in an orphanage. I think you'll be excellent. Now, what did you say your name was?

"ZaSu Pitts."

"Did you make up the ZaSu?"

"No, Miss Pickford, my mother did. She named me after my two aunts, Eliza and Susan–ZaSu."

"A name people won't forget," Mary said, with a twinkle in her eyes. "Though I imagine many will mispronounce it."

– from the book
"Candy Hits" by ZaSu Pitts

"At age 19 she began her film career. Her first starring role was as an ugly duckling who finds true love in 1919's Better Times. Her calculated vagueness and fluttery hand gestures earned Pitts comedy roles from the outset, but director Erich von Stroheim saw dramatic potential in the young actress. He cast her as the grasping, money-mad wife in his masterpiece Greed (1924), and she rose to the occasion with a searing performance." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

masterpiece. Already notorious for his excesses when Goldwyn Pictures signed him in 1922, Stroheim faithfully adapted Frank Norris's naturalistic novel McTeague, shooting the grim story about a couple's avaricious downfall on location in San Francisco and Death Valley, tripling the original budget. Combining documentary realism with symbolic devices, Stroheim composed McTeague in deep-focus long takes, emphasizing expressive relationships between characters and settings through juxtapositions in a single shot. Stroheim was asked to cut his original nine-hour version to a length releasable in two parts; with Stroheim's blessing, it was"Even in its mutilated form, Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1924) remains an intense silent reduced to four hours. Goldwyn, however, merged with Metro and Louis B. Mayer Productions to form MGM in 1924; Mayer turned McTeague over to his assistant, and Stroheim nemesis, Irving Thalberg for further edits. The hours of excised footage from the re-titled, 140-minute Greed were destroyed. Still, because of Stroheim's visual style, certain sequences, particularly the Death Valley dénouement, remain almost intact, retaining the story's power despite narrative holes. Greed made a profit, but Stroheim's struggles continued for the rest of his directorial career. Lost portions of Greed have since been reconstructed from numerous stills into a 239 minute version." ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

"One looks at ZaSu Pitts and sees pathos, even tragedy, and a wistfulness that craves for something she has never had or hopes to have. Yet she is one of the happiest and most contented women I have ever known."

~ Erich von Stroheim

mispronounced as, "Zazz-oo," in her 1930s film shorts with Thelma Todd (see below) it is clearly pronounced, on-screen [by Todd] as,Her unusual first name was coined from parts of the names, "Eliza," and, "Susan," female relatives who both wanted Pitts' mother to name the child after them. In many film credits and articles, her name was rendered as, Zazu Pitts, or, Zasu Pitts. Though her name is commonly "ZAY-sue;" her name was also consistently pronounced, "ZAY-sue," during her recurrent guest appearances on, Fibber McGee and Molly's show in 1939.

Biography

Born in Parsons, Kansas, to Rulandus and Nellie (Shay) Pitts, ZaSu was the third of four children. Her father, who had lost a leg while serving in the 76th New York Infantry Regiment in the Civil War, had settled the family in Kansas by the time ZaSu was born.[1] In 1903, when she was nine years old, they moved to Santa Cruz, California seeking a warmer climate and better job opportunities. Her childhood home at 208 Lincoln Street still stands. She attended Santa Cruz High School, where, despite her shy demeanor, she participated in school theatricals.

Pitts made her stage debut in 1915 and was discovered two years later for films by pioneer screenwriter Frances Marion. Pitts made her debut in the silent film, The Little Princess (1917), starring Mary Pickford. Pitts became a leading lady in Erich von Stroheim's masterpiece, Greed (1924); based on this performance, von Stroheim labeled Pitts, "the greatest dramatic actress." Von Stroheim also featured her in his films, The Wedding March (1928), and Walking Down Broadway (1933), which was re-edited by Alfred L. Werker and released as Hello Sister.

Pitts grew in popularity following a series of Universal one-reeler comedies and earned her first feature-length lead in King Vidor's, Better Times (1919). In 1920 she met and married potential matinée idol, Tom Gallery, and paired up with him in several films, including, Bright Eyes (1921), Heart of Twenty (1920), Patsy (1921) and A Daughter of Luxury (1922). Their daughter, Ann, was born in 1922.

In 1924, the actress, now a reputable comedy farceur, was given the greatest tragic role of her career in Erich von Stroheim's epic classic, Greed (1924), a nine-hour-plus picture, edited to under two hours. The surprise casting initially shocked Hollywood, but showed that Pitts could draw tears with her doleful demeanor as well as laughs. The movie has gained respect over time, having failed initially at the box office due to its extensive cutting.

Pitts enjoyed her greatest fame in the 1930s, often starring in B movies and comedy shorts, teamed with Thelma Todd. She also played secondary parts in many films. Her stock persona (a fretful, flustered, worrisome spinster) made her instantly recognizable and was often imitated in cartoons and other films. She starred in a number of Hal Roach shorts and features, and co-starred in a series of feature-length comedies with Slim Summerville. Her brief stint in the Hildegarde Withers mystery series was not well received. By this time Pitts was established as a comedienne, and audiences didn't accept her as a brainy sleuth.

Trading between comedy shorts and features, Pitts earned praises in such heavy dramas as Sins of the Fathers (1928), The Wedding March (1928), also helmed by von Stroheim, and War Nurse (1930). By the advent of sound, which was an easy transition for her, she was fully secured in comedy. One bitter and huge disappointment was when she was replaced in the war classic All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) by Beryl Mercer after her initial appearance in previews drew unintentional laughs. She decided, however, to make the most of the situation. She had viewers rolling in the aisles in such wonderful entertainment as The Dummy (1929), Finn and Hattie (1931), The Guardsman (1931), Blondie of the Follies (1932), Sing and Like It (1934) and Ruggles of Red Gap (1935). She excelled in her comedy partnerships with comedienne Thelma Todd (in short films) and comedian Slim Summerville (in features).

In the 1940s, she also found work in Vaudeville and on radio, trading quivery banter with Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, and Rudy Vallee, among others. She tackled Broadway, making her debut in the mystery, Ramshackle Inn, in 1944. The play, written expressly for her, fared well, and she took the show on the road in later years. Post-war films continued to give Pitts the chance to play comic snoops and flighty relatives in such fare as Life with Father (1947), but in the 1950s she started focusing on TV. This culminated in her best known series role, playing second banana to cruiseline social director Gale Storm in The Gale Storm Show (1956), as Elvira Nugent ("Nugie") [also known as Oh, Susannah], the shipboard beautician.

Pitts' last role, shortly before her death, was as a voice actress (switchboard operator) in the Stanley Kramer comedy, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963). A street in Las Vegas, Nevada is named after her.

Marriages

* Tom Gallery (23 July 1920 – 2 May 1933) (divorced); two children: Ann Gallery (natural) and Don Gallery (born Marvin Carville La Marr), whom they adopted and renamed after the 1926 drug-related death of his mother and Pitts' good friend, silent film actress Barbara La Marr.

* John E. Woodall (8 October 1933 – 7 June 1963) (her death).
Death

Ill health dominated Pitts' later years after she was diagnosed with cancer in the mid-1950s. She continued to work until the very end, making brief appearances in The Thrill of It All (1963) with Doris Day and James Garner, and the all-star comedy epic, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963). She died at age 69 in Hollywood, California, leaving behind a gallery of scene-stealing worrywarts for all to enjoy.

Pitts was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, in Culver City, California.

Miscellany

* She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 1994, she was honored with her image on a United States postage stamp designed by caricaturist Al Hirschfeld.
* She was an excellent cook and collector of candy recipes, which culminated in a cookbook titled Candy Hits by ZaSu Pitts published posthumously in 1963.
* Mae Questel caricatured Pitts's voice for the character Olive Oyl for the Fleischer Studios animated cartoon version of the comic strip Popeye.
* From the 1940s through the early 1960s, Pitts also made numerous television appearances, including her role in Oh! Susanna (1956-1960), with Gale Storm. As Nugie, the shipboard beautician and partner-in-crime, she made the most of her timid, twitchy mannerisms.
* She was on radio, appearing several times on the earliest Fibber McGee and Molly show. Her character was a somewhat dipsy dame who was constantly looking for a husband.
* She referred to gossip columnist Hedda Hopper as a "ferret".
* Conservative both politically and financially, she left her lucrative job with Thelma Todd over a money dispute with Hal Roach, and often complained about taxes.
* In Parsons, Kansas, there is a star tile at the Parsons Theatre to remember her by. It is placed at the entrance for movie-goers to see.
* During the 1980s, a large R&B/Soul band based in San Francisco performed under the name "The ZaSu Pitts Memorial Orchestra"
