the original Helen Keller movie THE MIRACLE WORKER? She played Helen's mother. Very beautiful lady she was in that movie.

No I did not know that Miss Kraus was in The Movie Miracle Workers

That's right! She played Kate Keller, the mother of Helen (Patty Duke). What a wonderful performance - the complete opposite of Kraus.

No German accent here, but she holds her own opposite Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft.

I have to see this movie. I just can't imagine her without that German accent.

It is a great movie and if you are a Benson fan, you will want to see Kraus' dramatic turn in this movie.

Lisa, I'm surprised you haven't seen this movie! It's a true classic. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke both won Oscars for their roles. Inga Swenson is a marvel - her part as Kate Keller is as far a cry from Gretchen Kraus as you can get!! Let us know when you see the film - I have a feeling you'll love it!!

She is so beautiful in this movie. She is so young and elegant, such a beauty to look at. We watched this movie in grade school. I know many kids who watched this movie in school.

Believe it or not I'm not a huge movie buff---unless it's comedies. The more dramatic stuff I don't tend to watch as much. You'll probably also be surprised to know that I never sat down to watch the Lizzie Borden movie (with Elizabeth Montgomery, of course) yet either.

The Lizzie Borden movie is truly creepy...I know one man who saw it as a kid and it scared him to death. Now, even though he's over 40 - he still refuses to watch it!!

Yeah, I'm not big on horror flicks and this definitely seems to fall into that category!

Anyway, how old is this movie with Inga?

1962 - filmed in B&W. It is so worth the effort to watch. As Irene stated, Inga Swenson is indeed beautiful. Here's more info:
