Description
Joan Shawlee (née Fulton;[2] March 5, 1926[3] – March 22, 1987) was an American film and television actress. She is known for her recurring role as Fiona "Pickles" Sorrell in The Dick Van Dyke Show, a career-defining turn in Billy Wilder's comedy Some Like It Hot (1959) playing Sweet Sue, the abrasive martinet in charge of Marilyn Monroe's all-girl jazz band, and as the flamboyant Madame Pompey in the 1957 Maverick episode "Stampede" with James Garner. She was sometimes credited under her birth name.PICTURE: By Studio Publicity - [1], Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=101330890
