M. P. W. Eleanore Vogel
6-26-1973 Mother
Jacquelyn E. Patton
6-4-1996 DaughterA Broadway actress, she teamed with Frankie Mack for years and together they became a very successful black-face team on stage and in films. Vogel went to Hollywood in 1923 and played uncredited roles in approximately 200 films and television shows. She was the sister of actress Jacqueline Patton. Along with actress Jane Crowley, they became known as "John Ford's Rosebud Sisters," even though they were not at all related. The two women were called "Hedy Vogel" and "Greta Crowley," and were among the most colorful personalities of all Hollywood extras. They were discovered by John Ford and he used them in every picture he filmed for 25 years, sometimes as a pair, sometimes only one of them is used. Both women were middle-aged, dark haired and of similar build. Vogel was often overlooked for film parts due to her heavy Southern accent – she was to have resembled a Russian until she opened her mouth. Vogel died of a heart attack.
