That's Billie Bird alongside Erwin in "Home Alone". She was also Grandma Dorothy in "Sixteen Candles", which is probably the role most people today would remember.

"I have a wonderful idea! Dong-would you like to take Samantha to the dance?"

I remember Erwin best as "Sid" in the "Seinfeld" episode, "The Old Man". "Say-before you go, would you mind changing my adult diaper? Ah, hahahahahahaha!"

Prost!
