IMDb

Kathleen Freeman (February 17, 1919 – August 23, 2001) was an American film, television, voice actress, and stage actress. In a career that spanned more than fifty years, she portrayed acerbic maids, secretaries, teachers, busybodies, nurses, and battle-axe neighbors and relatives, almost invariably to comic effect.

Their titles like Shrek, The Blues Brothers, and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult - their biggest roles first.
