academyawards =Geneva Mitchell (
February 3 ,1908 –March 10 ,1949 ), was an American film actress. She appeared in over 70 films between 1929 and 1946.Modern viewers will recognize Mitchell from her appearances in the
Three Stooges 1935 films "Restless Knights ", "Pop Goes the Easel ", and particularly "Hoi Polloi". In "Hoi Polloi", Mitchell plays a dance instructor who directs the Stooges to "do exactly as I do." Before she begins her dance, abumblebee lands on her bare back, startling her. Naturally, the Stooges mimic her every startled move. This hilarious footage would be reused six years later in "In the Sweet Pie and Pie ".Poor health curtailed Mitchell's career after 1936, as she appeared in only one film throughout the 1940s. She passed away in
Los Angeles, California in 1949.Mitchell was the fiancée of actor/director
