Jenny Tomasin
UpDown's "Ruby" has died

Sadly we must report that the actress who created the memorable role of the kitchen maid, Ruby, died in January from heart disease. Jenny Tomasin will be best remembered for that character who frequently found herself on the wrong end of the cook Mrs. Bridges' acid tongue, as well as for her worshipping of silent screen heartthrob Rudolph Valentino.
