Sara Berner (12 January 1912 – 19 December 1969) was an actress known primarily for her supporting roles, including two for Alfred Hitchcock. She played the upstairs neighbor in the 1954 feature Rear Window with her final film role as the uncredited voice of a telephone operator in the 1959 film, North by Northwest.
Berner was also active as a radio and cartoon voice talent, working primarily with the Warner Bros. animation department but receiving no screen credit; all on-screen voice credits were given to Mel Blanc at that time. Examples include the uncredited voice of Mama Buzzard in The Bashful Buzzard and Bugs Bunny Gets The Boid, the singing voice of one-time character A. Flea in the 1943 short, An Itch in Time and an uncredited role as the female voices in 1947's Book Revue. (Another example of this practice would be Arthur Q. Bryan in his one-time role as "Dangerous Dan McFoo;" that same voice would be used by Bryan as that of Elmer Fudd until Bryan's death, at which time Blanc took over the role.} She worked with the Walter Lantz studios on a number of Andy Panda shorts and appeared four times on radio's The Jack Benny Show as "Mabel Flapsaddle."
Berner died of natural causes in 1969. She is interred at Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
