[edit] Career
Modern viewers will recognize Mitchell from her appearances in the Three Stooges 1935 films Restless Knights, Pop Goes the Easel, and particularly Hoi Polloi. In Hoi Polloi, Mitchell plays a dance instructor who directs the Stooges to "do exactly as I do." Before she begins her dance, a bumblebee lands on her bare back, startling her. Naturally, the Stooges mimic her every startled move. This hilarious footage would be reused six years later in In the Sweet Pie and Pie.
[edit] Death
Poor health curtailed Mitchell's career after 1936, as she appeared in only one film throughout the 1940s. She died in Los Angeles, California on March 10, 1949 at age 41.
[edit] Personal
Mitchell was the fiancée of actor/director Lowell Sherman.
