Anne Revere (June 25, 1903 – December 18, 1990) was an American stage, film, and television actress.
Born in New York City, Revere was a direct descendant of American Revolution hero Paul Revere. Her father, Clinton, was a stockbroker, and she was raised on the Upper West Side and in Westfield, New Jersey. In 1926, she graduated from Wellesley College, then enrolled at the American Laboratory School to study acting with Maria Ouspenskaya and Richard Boleslavsky.
Revere made her Broadway debut in 1931 in The Great Barrington. Three years later, she went to Hollywood to reprise her stage role in the film adaptation of Double Door. She returned to Broadway to create the role of Martha Dobie in the original 1934 production of The Children's Hour, and in later years she appeared on the New York stage in As You Like It, The Three Sisters, and Toys in the Attic (play), for which she won the 1960 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play.
Revere worked steadily as a character actress in films, appearing in nearly three dozen between 1934 and 1951. She frequently was cast in the role of a matriarch and played mother to Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, John Garfield, and Montgomery Clift, among others. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress three times and won for her performance in National Velvet. Additional screen credits included The Song of Bernadette, Gentleman's Agreement, The Keys of the Kingdom, Body and Soul, and A Place in the Sun.
Hay te va rosy!!
año de 1900 presente lo tengo yooo
en un barrio de Saltillo Rosita Alvirez murio
Rosita Alvirez murio
su mama se lo decia:
Rosa esta noche no sales
mama no tengo la culpa que a mi me gusten los bailes
que a mi me gusten los bailes
Hipolito llego al baile y a Rosa se dirigio
como era la mas bonita Rosita lo desairo
Rosita lo desairo
Ah que Rosita!
Eras canija mija!
Rosita no me desaires la gente lo va a notar
pues que digan lo que quieran
contigo no he de bailar
contigo no he de bailar
Echo mano a la cintura y una pistola saco
a la pobre de Rosita nomas tres tiros le dio
nomas tres tiros le dio
Rosita le dijo a Irene no te olvides de mi nombre
cuando vayas a los bailes
no desprecies a los hombres
no desprecies a los hombres
El dia que la mataron Rosita estaba de suerte
de tres tiros que le dieron
nomas uno era de muerte
nomas uno era de muerte
La casa era colorada y estaba recien pintada
con la sangre de Rosita le dieron otra pasada
