Biography

Au cinéma, Maria Palmer apparaît enfant dans un film muet autrichien sorti en 1923. Puis, émigrée aux États-Unis en 1938, elle contribue à quatorze films américains, le premier étant Mission à Moscou de Michael Curtiz (1943, avec Walter Huston et Ann Harding).

Suivent entre autres Jours de gloire de Jacques Tourneur (1944, avec Gregory Peck et Tamara Toumanova), L'Orchidée blanche d'André De Toth (1947, avec Barbara Stanwyck et David Niven), Proprement scandaleux de Melvin Frank et Norman Panama (1951, avec Ezio Pinza et Janet Leigh), ou encore La Maîtresse de papa de David Butler (1953, avec Doris Day et Gordon MacRae) ; son dernier film américain sort en 1958.

Pour la télévision, outre un téléfilm diffusé en 1950, elle se produit dans trente-quatre séries américaines à partir de 1949, dont Rawhide (deux épisodes, 1962) et Perry Mason (deux épisodes, 1962-1963) ; sa dernière série est Sur la piste du crime (un épisode, 1967).

Après des débuts au théâtre dans son pays natal, Maria Palmer joue ensuite aux États-Unis, notamment à Broadway (New York). Là, sa première pièce en 1942 est une adaptation du roman Lune noire de John Steinbeck (avec Lyle Bettger et Otto Kruger).

Après une deuxième pièce en 1948 à Broadway, elle y revient une troisième et dernière fois dans une adaptation du Journal d'Anne Frank, représentée de 1955 à 1957 (elle reprend le rôle d'Edith Frank, tenu initialement par sa compatriote Gusti Huber).

Maria Palmer meurt en 1981, au lendemain de son 64e anniversaire, des suites d'un cancer.

Rocky Jones attempts to save the inhabitants of a planet about to collide with a moon. The empress of the planet, however, is suspicious. While Rocky and his crew finally succeed in evacuating the planet in time, Cleolanthe's pride and vanity are a major hindrance. Finally, however, as the last of the planet's population leaves, Cleolanthe arrogantly declares that she will stay behind. Her assistant, however, refuses to allow this, and literally picks her up and carries her on board Rocky's own ship. She watches in despair as the moon crashes into her planet, the two bodies destroying one another instantly. As the ship heads for the new home that has been chosen for her people, Cleolanthe finally realizes that she had been wrong, and that, as one of her underlings has stated, it is the people that make a nation, not the land itself. She finally reconciles with Rocky and his crew, and sincerely thanks them for their efforts in her behalf and that of her people. This marks the end of the character Cleolanthe in the Rocky Jones series. Succeeding episodes contain a new villain.
