Ann Codee (March 5, 1890–May 18, 1961) was a Belgian actress with numerous hit films on her résumé.
Codee married actor Frank Orth around 1911 or so. She and her husband toured American vaudeville in the 1910s and 1920s in a comedy act. The team made its film debut in 1929, appearing in a series of multilingual movie shorts. Thereafter, both Codee and Orth flourished as Hollywood character actors. Codee was seen in dozens of films as florists, music teachers, landladies, governesses and grandmothers. She played a variety of ethnic types, from the very French Mme. Poullard in Jezebel (1938) to the Gallic Tante Berthe in The Mummy's Curse (1941). Ann Codee's last film appearance was as a tight-corseted committeewoman in Can-Can (1960). Her career highlights include her part in the Natalie Wood film Kings Go Forth (1948) and the Oscar-nominated Ann Miller film Kiss Me Kate (1953). Codee died of a heart attack on May 18, 1961.
I know a place
Where the dogs ain't barking
I know a place
Where the sun don't shine
I know a place
Where the ghosts do the talking
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
I know a place
Little thirteen year old cousin
Blood running high
Got a knife in his hand
No daddy would do
Those things to his mama
So he opened that blade
And he stuck that man
I know a place
I know a place
I know a place
And it goes no further
Than where you are
When you leave it behind
One piece of advice
From one son to another
Get out of your mind
Get out of your mind
I know a place
