Anne Ramsey Movies, Young, Death, Daughter

Actress Anne Ramsey-Mobley was from the United States. Her most well-known roles were as Mama Fratelli in The Goonies and as Mrs. Lift in Throw Momma from the Train, the latter of which brought her nominations for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award.

Ramsey started a lucrative Hollywood career in the 1970s playing character parts in TV shows including Ironside, Three’s Company, Wonder Woman, and Little House on the Prairie.

Ramsey had part of her tongue and jaw removed following surgery for esophageal cancer in 1984, which contributed to her somewhat slurred speech, which became a defining feature of her later performances.

She passed away at Woodland Hills’ Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital on August 11.
