Biography
Mary MacLaren was an American film actress who worked in both the silent and sound eras, appearing in more than 170 films over a career that ran from 1916 to 1949. Born in Pittsburgh, she was the youngest of three sisters who all became actors, and she received her early education in Greensburgh (now Greensboro), Pennsylvania, before the family moved to New York City around 1913. She started on the stage at the Winter Garden with Al Jolson in The Passing Show of 1914 and Dancing Around, then made her screen debut in 1916 with Shoes. For Universal she took roles in Idle Wives (1916), The Plow Woman (1917), The Model's Confession (1918) and The Petal on the Current (1919), among many others, and played Queen Anne of Austria in Douglas Fairbanks's 1921 production of The Three Musketeers. She moved successfully into sound films and continued acting periodically through the 1930s and into the early 1940s.
