Bernardine Flynn (January 2, 1904 â€" March 20, 1977) was an American
radio actress and announcer best known for playing the role of Sade
Gook on the long-running comic radio serial Vic and Sade.Born in 1904,
Flynn graduated from the University of Wisconsinâ€"Madison (Class of
1926), moving to Chicago in 1927. In Chicago, Flynn became a radio
actress and announcer. She was used as a radio announcer, a rarity for
women in the 1920s, as she was known for controlling her emotions.
This quality of not becoming emotional was exploited in the Vic and
Sade show, where she would play the role of straight man to the comic
daffiness.One of Flynn's earliest activities on radio was on WJZ in
New York City. She replaced Virginia Carter in the ingenue's role on
the Empire Builders program. The following year, she was heard on Rin
Tin Tin. Also in the summer of 1931, she portrayed Mrs. Jones in The
Private Affairs of the Jones Family. Sponsored by Montgomery Ward, the
show was one of four tested by the company to test audience response.
A newspaper story about it related, "Miss Flynn [has] been heard in
many dramatic productions from Chicago stories." She was heard in
Malik Mystery Drama in 1932.In 1932, Paul Rhymer chose Flynn to play
Sade as the character lacked a sense of humor. Even in the most
humorous of situations, Flynn's emotional self-control ensured that
Sade would never break character.[citation needed] The 15-minute
program was aired from 1932 to 1945, and in 1946, it was put back on
the air as a one-hour show. Bernardine Flynn Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
