In this 1942 movie, Natalie has a scene as the mom of Olivia DeHavilland, who ends up in an insane asylum.

It's not a comedy but the mental patients' bizarre behavior provides some laughs.

Since it was made in Hollywood's golden age, the style is not too grim.

There's a parallel with a 2012 movie SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. Both feature mental patients getting better through dance.

As silly as a prom at a mental institution may sound, it was one of the techniques used at the time along with electro shock!

they might've been the little girl in the picture.

Yes, Natalie was only 16 years younger than Olivia as I remember. Take a look at this one of a young pretty Natalie.

Olivia, I think she is still alive, must be around age mid 90's now. Wouldn't Natalie be maybe 100-105 if she was still alive.. I read Russell's (the professor;s ) book and he mentioned Natalie was, as least he thought in her 50's on Gilligan's Island.
