Early life[edit]
Natwick was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the daughter of Mildred Marion (née Dawes) and Joseph Natwick of Wisconsin.[2][3] Her father was a sawmill baron and dairy farmer who owned Dunloggin Dairy Farm. He established the farm on land that was cleared of its white oaks; the community of Dunloggin in Ellicott City, Maryland, was so named because Natwick was "done logging" the land.[4] Her grandfather, Ole Natwick, was one of the earliest Norwegian immigrants to the United States, arriving in Wisconsin in 1847.[5] Her first cousin was animator and cartoonist Grim Natwick.[6] Natwick attended the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore and later graduated from Bennett College.[1]
Personal life and death[edit]
Natwick, who never married or had children, lived in a duplex on Park Avenue in Manhattan for the majority of her life. She was a devout Christian Scientist.[12] A Republican, she supported Dwight Eisenhower during the 1952 presidential election.[13]
On October 25, 1994, Natwick died of cancer at her home in Manhattan at age 89.[2][11] She is interred at Lorraine Park Cemetery in Baltimore.[11]
