Virginia Sale (1899-1992) was a trained character who maintained a career on stage and screen for almost fifty years. Her first film role was as Fifi in French Leave (1927), but she soon began to specialize in playing older women, though still in her twenties. She played many mothers, aunts and spinsters.
Sale cropped up in three MGM musicals: Lord Byron of Broadway, the 1930 New Moon and Strike Up the Band.
