From today’s L.A. Times:

Actress Ruth Hussey, who was best known for her Oscar-nominated role as James Stewart’s sassy photographer girlfriend in the classic 1940 film The Philadelphia Story, has died. She was 93. Her son, John Longenecker, said Hussey died Tuesday at Mary Health of the Sick Convalescent Home in Newbury Park of complications from an appendectomy. “But my mom told her children and grandchildren she had ‘Cholery Marbles,’ a term for whatever ails you, invented by her mother in Rhode Island and well known and used by all the Hussey cousins and family,” he said, adding, “She was fun.”
