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 until receiving a few credited cameo roles late in life. Immediately following the filming of her cameo in Dirty Deeds, she died in her sleep of natural causes in Los Angeles in October 2005.
