Her screen debut came in the 1946 film Her Adventurous Night. She played Lady Macduff in Orson Welles' adaptation of Macbeth. Other notable roles include Mrs. Alice Rice in the 1952 film Submarine Command and Miss Dennerly in The Wrong Man, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.[3]

Radio

Webber debuted on radio at age 12 on WOAI (AM) in San Antonio, Texas.[4] Her vocal talents for radio were highlighted in Time magazine's August 5, 1946, issue. The Radio: Vocal Varieties article noted, "In three years her lastex voice has supplied radio with 150 different characters on some 2,500 broadcasts."[5]

Programs on which she was heard included The Dreft Star Playhouse,[4] Dragnet,[6]The Woman in My House,{{r|rp|page1=358}} Pete Kelly's Blues,{{r|rp|page1=269}} Dr. Paul,{{r|rp|page1=101}} The Damon Runyon Theater,[7] and The Man Called X.[2] In 1979, she played many characters on Sears Radio Theater.

Webber portrayed Elsie Sandor in Kings Row on ABC in 1955–56.[9]. She appeared as the sister of an overprotective brother in an early episode of Gunsmoke.

Writing, directing and producing

Webber wrote and directed "some 250 stage plays, radio and television programs."[3] She was writer and producer for Treasures of Literature, an early television program. In her later years she was responsible for writing, directing and producing "hundreds of new audio programs."[3]

Recognition

Webber received the 2014 Norman Corwin Award for Excellence in Audio Theatre, "which celebrates a lifetime of achievement in this sonic art."[10] She was the first woman so honored.[10] Her program Treasure of Literature was named "Most Popular Television Program - 1949" by the Television Academy.[11]
