Happy Una Merkel’s B-Day! I adore this sassy, silly, talented lady so much! Such a natural onscreen — easily one of the funniest comic actresses, but also impressive in her dramatic work. She breaks my heart in On Borrowed Time! Merkel was #BOTD in 1903 in Kentucky. #TCMParty #ClassicFilm #UnaMerkel
