@jam6242 found some Amanda Randolph information:

 

Eric Skubel Her character on BIG SISTER was called Virginia (joined in 1942); on KITTY FOYLE she was Myrtle (1943); on ABIE'S IRISH ROSE she played Pansy and/or Lily (started in 1942). She played Venus Gooch on MISS HATTIE (1945). She played Annie Christmas in an episode of CBS RADIO WORKSHOP, entitled The Legend of Annie Christmas (1956). She appeared on multiple episodes of GRAND CENTRAL STATION, playing unknown characters (1943-1946). Also played unknown characters on THE ROMANCE OF HELEN TRENT and AUNT JENNY. On television, she hosted her own five-days-a-week morning show (which seemed to be a talk/variety show), called AMANDA, on The Dumont Network,(1949-1950).

Re:  Grace Lockwood   per @jam6242

Eric, she played Terry Logan's mother on Attorney at Law. Maybe she was Mother Logan instead of Mother Regan? Her obituary said that she was also on Myrt and Marge. Also played Mrs. Garrity on Caroline's Golden Store (1939) and Ma Donovan on Captain Midnight (1940). One source said she was on Road of Life but not sure about that one.
