Virginia Gregg and Jeanette Nolan

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2017)

Both of these women did the voice of Mrs. Bates in the movie, "Psycho". Both had considerable radio training. Ms. Gregg played "Kitty" on the radio version of Gunsmoke and also Miss Wong on the radio version of Have Gun Will Travel. Ms. Nolan played a witch several times in television and even did Lady Macbeth in the movie version of Macbeth. Her husband was John McIntyre who played the sheriff in the movie, Psycho, and his wife was played by Lureen Tuttle, who played Effie, Sam Spade's secretary on radio. McIntyre had the classic line of asking John Gavin (Sam Loomis) who claimed Mrs. Bates was still alive. McIntyre told him that Mrs. Bates had died years before and if someone had seen her in the upstairs window, "then who was that woman buried out in Greenwood cemetery." That is when people might start getting suspicious of the outcome.
