She was the woman who told Lou Costello that her husband was killed by a falling safe, and died as a result because he was wearing a Susquehanna hat in the film IN SOCIETY.

Elvia: "Ohhh! My husband's dead!! He's Dead!!!!"

Lou: "He ain't dead, lady! He's hidin'!! That guy!!"

She played Jerry Lewis' mother in THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, and in a flashback sequence, tears Lewis' dad (Howard Morris) a new one, and it appears as though Morris literally shrinks as Elvia Allman rips into him!

"How can I handcuff a bloomin' shirt??!?"
