Kinjay

One of my favorite character actresses..

Cheryl

Everything she did was a oscar winner always enjoyed watching the rear window movie like her as the funny crusty home-nurse

Great actress. Have seen Thermal Ritter in so many supporting roles, always great acting. Remember her in 'Pillow Talk', 'How the West was Won', 'Rear Window' to name a few.

Thelma Ritter, what a great character actress. Was fabulous in "With a Song in My Heart" with Susan Hayward and Rory Calhoun..

She really was terrific in everything she did.

Diane

My mother loved her, and so did I. She was a good actress, and funny...

Linda

She was one of the great character actress, there just aren't anymore around.

Rosemary

She was wonderful in everything she did. She always delivered her lines perfectly, My favorite is in All About Eve. "Everything but the hounds snapping at her rear end." After she hears Eve's made-up, very sad story about her past.

Louis

So many great ones. the best of all was her turn as a co-star in The Mating Season. After that; Rear Window, All about Eve, Pickup on South Street (with one of the saddest death scenes in all i film). I worked Summer Stock in Woodstock NY with her daughter who fond it very difficult to discuss her Mother (privacy i am sure) But had a Mink Coat we used that belonged to her. Thelma nevr le an audience down and lived a normal life using her married name in confotable surroundings. Great actress.

Kent

One of my favorite actress, in her time great one. Ms. Thelma Ritter. MAY SHE REST IN Peace. Love all her movies.

Helen

ONE GREAT LADY AND ACTRESS, THE BEST.

George

Fantastic actress. Always wonderful in the roles she played. R.I.P.

Howard

What a great actress. She always made anything she appeared in better.

Sue

Even Miracle on 34th Street. Small role, but she made an impact, so did Jack Albertson as the postal worker, who inadvertently saves the day.

Rick

Miss Thelma was just plain wonderful in anything she was in

Kathleen

She was really a very educated person in real life. She stole every scene she was in.

Love her going head to head with Miriam Hopkins in The Mating Season!

Scott

A true artist. So many great performances. All About Eve. Bird Man of Alcatraz, among others.

Loved her in so many movies, I did not realist she died so young, only 66 :( Lucy Braden .. and 'All Aout Eve' as Birdie - fabulous movie, I get more from the clever writing/script every time I watch it

Absolutely loved her and her body of work! She never disappointing and was the Aunt you always wished you had

One of my absolute favorites!!! Stole every scene

Peggy

One of the best! Added so much to everything she appeared in.

Sue

A very good actress. She is great! My favorite character she plays is in All About Eve.

Corrie

My all time favorite character actress!

Bill

Absolutely A Fantastic Actress. She like Agnes Morehead had many Oscar Nominations. They essentially played the same character...to pure Perfection....Miss Ritter was Simply Outstanding in Birdman Of Alcatraz.

Perry

When I think of Miss Ritter, the film when she was strangled with a necktie is ever in my mind...Loved how Miss Morehead stills Hush ..Hush Sweet Charlotte. Furthermore if ever a leading lady or actor needed support these two more often than not, made them look better

Perry

Thelma Ritter's most remembered role had to be her uncredit 1947 film debut as Peter's mother and Macy's newest and most loyal customer in Miracle on 34th Street.

Matt

So many great films, hard to pick just one role as her best. Truly great actress !

Don

I love Thelma Ritter’s final scene in South Street Pickup where she explains how tired she is; that it’s OK for her killer to murder her.

Alexandar

Loved all her amazing work Pillow Talk and all her movies

Brenda

Every movie she was in she made better. I liked her in Pillow Talk and Rear Window.

Susan

Talented Actress. I believe she was the one that raised her Family and when grown, she started acting ? She was great in a couple of Doris Day Movies, especially, the maid in PILLOW TALK who came in with a Hangover... Sweet Doris, would have the Tomato Juice, Egg and Worchishire Sauce all ready for her each Morning in the Movie.

John

R.I.P. to a very talented n classy woman! Loved her in The Birdman of Alcatraz!

Armand

Brilliant and believable, Thelma made every movie she made a BETTER movie.

Elazebeth

Brilliant and believable, Thelma made every movie she made a BETTER movie.
