Lillian Randolph

Mammy Two Shoes, as voiced by Lillian Randolph in a number of Tom and Jerry cartoons during the 1940s and early 1950s.

Lillian Randolph (December 14, 1898 - September 12, 1980) was an African American actress and singer, a veteran of radio, film, and television. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, she was the younger sister of actress Amanda Randolph.

She worked in entertainment from the 1930s well into the 1970s, appearing in hundreds of radio shows, motion pictures, short subjects, and television shows. Randolph is best known as the maid Birdie Lee Coggins from The Great Gildersleeve radio comedy and subsequent films and television series, and as Madame Queen on the Amos 'n' Andy television show from 1951 to 1953. Her best known film role was that of Annie in It's a Wonderful Life. She appeared in several featured roles on Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons in the 1970s.

Her most prolific acting role, however, was her uncredited voiceover part as Mammy Two-Shoes in William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's Tom and Jerry cartoon short subjects for Metro Goldwyn Mayer during the 1940s and early 1950s. Randolph made a guest appearance on a 1972 episode of the sitcom Sanford and Son as Hazel, a distant relative of the Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) character who humorously gets a cake thrown in her face, after which Fred replies "Hazel, you never looked sweeter".
