Mary Howard
Biography
Mary Howard was an American actress and dancer who usually worked under that name. Born in Independence in 1914, she came from Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she took dance lessons as a kindergartner, including instruction from Albertina Rasch. At 14 she was performing in New York City stage shows, following two older sisters who had danced in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her first film work came through a stock contract with Louis B. Mayer; she spent the initial six months straightening her teeth and the next six learning to act, and she appeared in only a small number of movies. During the Second World War, she assisted in establishing the USO in Los Angeles and traveled to perform for men returning from service. She died in 2009.
