Ellen Albertini Dow, the Rapping Granny, Dies at 101 [Video]

Ellen Albertini Dow, who stole the show from Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in the 1998 movie, The Wedding Singer, passed away yesterday. She was 101.

Born in 1913 in Pennsylvania, Dow lived a full life, studying dance as a child, working as a mime under the great Marcel Marceau, doing stand up comedy in the Borscht Belt (Jewish resorts in the Catskills and Poconos), getting small roles on early '60s TV shows, taught acting at Los Angeles City College, before finally resuming her movie career underway at the age of 80 in the Robin Williams film, Patch Adams.

She also had small roles in movies like The Wedding Crashers and Sister Act, as well as TV appearances on The Golden Girls, Seinfeld and The Twilight Zone.

But it was her scene stealing moment as the elderly grandmother who popped off a few verses of 'Rapper's Delight' in The Wedding Singer that we remember her most.
