Gloria Henry, Dennis the Menace actress, dies at 98

Gloria Henry, who was famously known for her role in Dennis the Menace, has died at 98 years of age.

Henry died on April 3, one day after her birthday, according to multiple media outlets.

Her daughter, Erin Ellwood, confirmed the news of her death in an Instagram post, writing, "She was such an incredible woman in so many ways."

"This last year with her has been beautiful and heartbreaking. Thank you all for following me and supporting me on this journey — this beautiful land mine. Goodbye Momma, I love your guts forever."

The late actress played Alice Mitchell alongside Herbert Anderson and Jay North, who starred as Dennis in the hit show.

"Many of the fans say, 'Oh, I always wished you were my mum' and 'My mum was jealous of you, because I wanted you for a mum,'" Henry said in a 2011 interview with nj.com. "Which is pretty funny, because I don't think my own children felt that way."

Henry moved to Los Angeles as a teenager and started appearing in movies from 1947.

Some of her notable acting credits were in The Strawberry Roan (1948), Riders in the Sky (1949), and Kill the Umpire (1950).

In 1952 she was a series regular on The Files of Jeffrey Jones. She also had cameos in My Little Margie, Mr. and Mrs. North, and Perry Mason.

Later in her life, she would return to make TV appearances in shows like Simon & Simon, Dallas, Doogie Howser, M.D. and Parks and Recreation.

Henry is survived by her ex-husband Craig Ellwood, who she was married to between 1949 to 1977. The former couple shared three children, Jeffrey, Adam and Erin.
