description: "Hope Emerson was an American actress, vaudevillian, nightclub performer, and strongwoman. Emerson started acting when she was three years old during a production with her mother. Her career started when she advertised sheet music by playing the piano at a 10-cent store. Emerson made her Broadway debut in Lysistrata in 1930. She starred in other plays, radio programs, films, television shows, and commercials. She often played the role of a villain in comedies and dramas. Emerson's performance in Caged \"became the standard model for women's prison films.\" Her roles included being a circus strongwoman, a nefarious masseuse-conspirator, a mail-order bride, and a prison warden."
