Ruth Gordon (October 30, 1896 – August 28, 1985) was an American actress and screenwriter who was perhaps best known for her role as the oversolicitous neighbor in Roman Polanski's adaptation of Ira Levin's novel Rosemary's Baby, for which she won the 1968 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Gordon also starred as Maude in
Hal Ashby's indie comedy Harold and Maude and as Mary Todd Lincoln in Abe Lincoln in Illinois. She had a minor role as
Clint Eastwood's mother in his films Every Which Way But Loose
and Any Which Way You Can. In addition, Gordon wrote the screenplay for the
Katharine Hepburn and
Spencer Tracy film Adam's Rib.
Harold and Maude and Adam's Rib have both been selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress' National Film Registry.
