Gear, Luella [Gardner van Nort] (1899–1980), actress. The New Yorker made her debut in the 1917 musical
Love o' Mike and over the next decade used her often acid, knowing style of comedy to win increasingly important roles in such comedies and musicals as
The Gold Diggers (1919),
Poppy (1923), and
Queen High (1926). Gear enjoyed major assignments in
Gay Divorce (1932),
Life Begins at 8:40 (1934), and
On Your Toes (1936). In later years her best role was the bitter worldling Julia McKinlock in
Sabrina Fair (1953).
