"Our Miss Brooks" was a highly popular radio sitcom that was
eventually adapted for both television and film. It starred
Hollywood film and New York stage veteran Eve Arden, who
specialized in playing the wisecracking friend. She often did it
better than anyone else, receiving an Oscar nomination for the 1945
film "Mildred Pierce." Since her skill with the wicked one-liner
was beginning to lead to typecasting, Arden signed on for the lead
in radio s "Our Miss Brooks "to find a new image.
The series centers on Connie Brooks, a sharp-witted, lovable
English teacher at fictional Madison High School. Between gentle
wisecracks, Miss Brooks dotes on nerdish student Walter Denton,
played by Richard Crenna, and frequently locks horns with crusty,
cranky Principal Osgood Conklin, played by Gale Gordon. Many plot
lines revolve around Miss Brooks longing for Philip Boynton, the
school s bashful biology teacher.
The radio series lasted until 1957, having already made a
successful jump to television in 1952 where Arden won a Primetime
Emmy for Best Female Star in a Regular Series."
