Biography
Gertrude Howard was an American actress of the silent and early sound film eras. She broke into films in 1925, appearing in The Circus Cyclone, directed by Albert Rogell. In 1927, she would play the wife of Uncle Tom in Uncle Tom's Cabin.
She appeared mostly in minor or supporting roles, such as Queenie in the original version of Show Boat (1929), and Martha in Christy Cabanne's Conspiracy.
Her appearance as Beulah Thorndyke in I'm No Angel (1933), led to her being forever linked to Mae West with the famous line, "Beulah, peel me a grape".
In Howard's short career she would appear in twenty-two films. That career was cut short by her untimely death in 1934 at the age of 41. Mae West helped raise funds for her funeral.
