Mini Bio
Margaret Wycherly was born in London, England on October 26, 1881. She was predominately a stage actress, continuing stage work even after performing in films. Her first film role came when she appeared in The Fight (1915) at 34 years old. It was not until 1929 that audiences got another glimpse of her in The Thirteenth Chair (1929). Playing largely character roles, one of her finest performances was as Gary Cooper's mother in Sergeant York (1941). She later gave stellar performances in The Yearling(1946) and Forever Amber (1947). She appeared on the then-new medium of television on The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse (1948). After a small role in The President's Lady (1953), Margaret retired at age 72. Three years later, on June 6, 1956, she died at age 74.
This British actress, born in 1881, is probably best remembered as the mother in her two best-known roles, Sergeant York (1941) opposite 'Gary Cooper' and White Heat (1949) opposite James Cagney who closes out the film screaming "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" as he goes to a fiery death. Margaret spent her early acting days on stage touring across England, and later working with stock theatre companies in the US, before making the jump to Broadway. There she starred in two memorable plays, Tobacco Road, a successful commercial play, and The Thirteenth Chair which proved to be a critical success. Her performances caught the attention of the studios and she wound up reprising her role in the The Thirteenth Chair (1929) film adaptation oppositeBela Lugosi. Returning to the stage, she periodically returned to Hollywood, making the film Midnight (1934), followed by roles in 17 movie films. The most notable beingSergeant York (1941) for which she earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.

Paul Tyler and Stephen Wrench
Grammy nominated singer songwriter Paul Tyler with a little help from Stephen Wrench wrote and recorded this song. The song is not rascist at all. The song came to the writers while sitting on a civil war battlegfield. The words just seemed to flow. Imagine what it was like then to be in battle with your neighbors and relatives.
The words " The fight was on , my company was fading quicly, a shot rang out as I fell to the ground in pain, vision blurred my body weak my soul seemd soon to leave me but thru the smoke I heard and angel sing, just enough to get back home to dixie.
Its moving, its history
