Very limited info about this artist can be found here, perhaps in addition to what’s in his Wikipedia page (Google translated Dutch Wikipedia page has more).
/// Mildred Natwick had talent that stuns.
She portrayed mothers, Snoopers and nuns.
Here, she brings “Marg” to life
(plays a rich Dutchman’s wife)
with an odd acting choice— finger guns.
/// Mildred, playing a witch, had to say,
in a film she made with Danny Kaye,
which cup carried the pellet
in a way that would “sell it,”
and it still makes me laugh to this day.
