I remember that there's a Gertie in the old Perry Mason series (the black and white oldies from the '50s) - she's the telephonist who is seldom if ever seen, and when she does finally get before the camera she's a 30-something blonde with big blue eyes (a real counter to the name's stereotype).
All the same, I think Gertrude is rather ugly - that "rude" bit doesn't help its appeal!
