Benita Hume (14 October 1907 – 1 November 1967)[1] was an English theatre and film actress.
She was married to film actor Ronald Colman from 1938 to his death in 1958; they were the parents of a daughter, Juliet.
She starred with Colman in both versions of the situation comedy The Halls of Ivy, an NBC Radio programme (1950–1952) and a CBS Television show (1954–1955).
She also made occasional guest appearances with her husband on The Jack Benny Show on radio, and the Colmans were portrayed as Benny's long-suffering next-door neighbours, roles they reprised once on his television show.
Sanders originally was signed to play Sheridan Whiteside in the musical Sherry!, but when Hume became terminally ill with cancer, he withdrew from the project.
