Here is the list of all Gale Sondergaard movies.

Gale Sondergaard (February 15, 1899 – August 14, 1985) was an American actress best known for her roles in the films "Anthony Adverse" (1936) and "The Letter" (1940), for which she received Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

Born in Minnesota, Sondergaard initially pursued a career in theater before transitioning to film in the 1930s. She made her film debut in "The Cat and the Canary" (1939) and went on to appear in numerous films throughout the decade.

Sondergaard was known for her ability to play a wide range of characters, from sympathetic heroines to manipulative villains. Her portrayal of Faith Paleologus in "Anthony Adverse" earned her critical acclaim and the first-ever Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1937.

Sondergaard continued to work steadily throughout the 1940s, appearing in films such as "The Mark of Zorro" (1940) and "The Spider Woman" (1944). However, her career was derailed in 1947 when she and her husband, director Herbert Biberman, were blacklisted during the McCarthy era for their alleged communist sympathies.

Sondergaard continued to work sporadically throughout the 1950s and 1960s, appearing in films such as "The Black Cat" (1966) and "The Uninvited" (1944). She also made occasional appearances on television, including a memorable role on "The Twilight Zone" in 1962.

Despite her limited work in later years, Sondergaard remains an iconic figure in Hollywood history. Her talent and versatility as an actress, as well as her courage in the face of political persecution, continue to inspire generations of performers and audiences alike.
