Heather Wilde

Heather Wilde is an English actress who was active in stage and screen productions in both England and the United States between the late 1930s and 1950s. In films she was often cast in small uncredited roles. Wilde is perhaps best known today for her performances as a supporting character in two popular, critically acclaimed American comedies: as the primping little actress Miss Plupp in The Bank Dick starring W. C. Fields and as the anxious housemaid Annie in Life with Father starring William Powell and Irene Dunne.
