The Quintessential
Jewish Mother:
Gertrude Berg as Molly
Goldberg
|
Gertrude Berg (1899-1966) an iconic figure on television from the late 1940's to the mid l950s, wrote, produced and acted in the hugely successful TV show, The Goldbergs.
As Molly
Goldberg, she became the beloved immigrant mother who was capable of
common sense wisdom and unswerving devotion to this "golden land." Her
compassion for all peoples made her an excellent emissary for such
American values as kindness, goodness and patriotism. She conveyed the
hope that a war-weary people could once again focus on their families and
communities.
