Early Life & Career Born Harriette Arlene Lake in Valley City, North Dakota, Sothern left home very young and began her film career as an extra in the 1927 in film film, Broadway Nights at the age of 18. During 1929 in film and 1930 in film, she appeared as a chorus girl in such films as The Show of Shows and Whoopee! (as one of the "Goldwyn Girls"). She also appeared on Broadway theatre and had a trained voice, occasionally singing in films.

In 1934, Sothern signed a contract with Columbia Pictures, but after two years the studio released her from the contract. In 1936, she was signed by RKO Pictures and after a string of films that failed to attract an audience, Sothern left RKO and was signed to MGM, making her first film for them in 1939 in film.

In a role originally intended for Jean Harlow, Sothern was cast in the 1939 in film film, Maisie, as brassy Brooklyn burlesque dancer Mary Anastasia O'Connor who also goes by the stage name Maisie Revere. In Mary C. McCall Jr.'s screenplay of Wilson Collison's novel, Maisie is stranded penniless in a small Wyoming town, takes a job as a ranch maid and becomes caught in a web of romantic entanglements. After years of struggling, Sothern had her first real success, and a string of "Maisie" comedy sequels followed, beginning with 1940 in film Congo Maisie, followed by 1947 in film Undercover Maisie, in which Maisie infiltrates a gang of con men headed by a phony swami. In a 1943 review of Swing Shift Maisie by Time (magazine) praised Sothern and described her as "one of the smartest comediennes in the business".

On November 24, 1941, Sothern performed in the Lux Radio Theater adaptation of Maisie Was a Lady, and the popularity of the film series led to her own radio program, The Adventures of Maisie, broadcast on CBS from 1945 in television to 1947 in television, on Mutual Broadcasting System in 1952 in television and in syndication from 1949 to 1953.

In 1949 in film, Sothern appeared in the Academy Award, A Letter to Three Wives. The film earned her excellent reviews, but failed stimulate her career. During the 1950s, she appeared in a few movies, mainly appearing on various television shows. In 1953 in television, she landed the lead role in the series Private Secretary (TV series). After Secretary's end in 1957 in television, she appeared in her own show, The Ann Sothern Show, until 1961 in television. Both programs were successful and earned Sothern four Emmy Award nominations.

Later Career Previously a stunning beauty, Southern had a bout of hepatitis which left her with a bloated, overweight appearance; so she preferred not to be seen. In 1965 in television, she was heard as the voice of Gladys Crabtree (the car) in the short lived series My Mother the Car, which co-starred Jerry Van Dyke. The series was unsuccessful and was canceled after 30 episodes.

During this period, Sothern made occasional guest appearances on The Lucy Show with her old RKO and MGM cohort, Lucille Ball. In 1967 in television, her former boss Desi Arnaz, the first husband of Lucille Ball, approached her to co-star with Eve Arden as battling neighbors in The Mothers-in-Law, but NBC felt that Sothern's style was too similar to Arden's. The very differently styled and younger Kaye Ballard got the part.

She resumed working sporadically on television until the mid-1980s, including a television remake of her earlier success A Letter to Three Wives. Her final film role was in The Whales of August in 1987 in film. Her role as the neighbor of elderly sisters, played by Lillian Gish and Bette Davis, brought Sothern her first and only Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination after 60 years in the business. However, she lost to Olympia Dukakis.

Personal Life Soutern was married to actor Roger Pryor from 1936 until May 17, 1943. Less than a week later, she married actor Robert Sterling. The couple had one daughter, actress Tisha Sterling, before divorcing in six years later. IMDb bio for Ann Sothern]
