Mary Carr is a Actor American born on 13 march 1874 at Germantown
Mary Carr (March 14, 1874 – June 24, 1973) was an American film actress and was married to the actor William Carr (1866–1937). She appeared in 144 films between 1915 and 1956. She was given some of filmdoms plum mother roles in silent pictures, especially Fox's 1920 Over the Hill to the Poorhouse which was a great success. She was interred in Calvary Cemetery. Carr bore a strong resemblance to Lucy Beaumont, another famous character actress of the time who specialized in mother roles. As older actresses such as Mary Maurice and Anna Townsend passed on, Carr, still in her forties, seem to inherit all the granny roles in silent films.
Mary Carr appeared on the 9 June 1954 episode of the radio quiz program "You Bet Your Life", hosted by comedian Groucho Marx.
The Carrs' oldest son, William (1902–04), died at two years of age. Almost all of her children were involved in the film business. All of them appeared with her in Over the Hill. They are as follows:
John Carr (January 2, 1904 - November 27, 1956)
Stephen Carr (April 23, 1906 - May 20, 1986)
Thomas Carr (July 4, 1907 - April 23, 1997)
Rosemary Carr (October 2, 1910 - April 24, 1987)
Maybeth (Mary Elizabeth) Carr (May 4, 1912 - December 27, 1996) m. Pete Carpenter
De sa période du muet, mentionnons Le Foyer qui s'éteint de John Ford et Edwin Carewe (1922, avec Percy Helton), Trois femmes d'Ernst Lubitsch (1924, avec May McAvoy et Pauline Frederick), Le Sorcier d'Oz de Larry Semon (1925, avec Dorothy Dwan et Charles Murray), ainsi qu’Une femme sans mari d'Hobart Henley (1925, avec Norma Shearer et Lew Cody).
Durant la période du parlant, elle apparaît comme second rôle de caractère (parfois non créditée) entre autres dans Kept Husbands de Lloyd Bacon (1931, avec Dorothy Mackaill et Joel McCrea), Premier Amour de John G. Blystone (1934, avec Janet Gaynor et Charles Farrell), ou encore L'Escadrille des aigles d'Arthur Lubin (1942, avec Robert Stack et Diana Barrymore).
Un de ses derniers films est le western Oregon Trail (1945), réalisé par son fils Thomas Carr (1907-1997) ; l'avant-dernier est La Loi du Seigneur de William Wyler (1956, avec Gary Cooper et Dorothy McGuire).
Pour la télévision, Mary Carr collabore à la série Lux Video Theatre , lors d'un épisode diffusé en 1956.
