Sparkle (actress)

Rachel "Sparkle" Glusman ( April 14, 1915 - October 6, 2005) was an American actress.
Born in the Russian Empire, the 4' 2" actress came to the United States with her family and worked in show business on a free lance basis while raising a family. Glusman was a background and unaccredited actress for many years which is why there is little credit or history for much of her work. She became popular in her later years playing 'old lady' characters in a few contemporary movies like Dirty Deeds (2005), Wedding Crashers (2005), Man on Fire (2004) and Big Fat Liar (2002).
She received her first credit in Troop Beverly Hills in 1989 as R. Sparkle Stillman and went on to play bit parts in 18 other movies.
Immediately following the filming of Dirty Deeds, she died in her sleep of natural causes in Los Angeles in October 2005.
