Mary Treen (March 27, 1907 – July 20, 1989) was an American film and television actress, a familiar face who brought levity to the screen. A minor actress for much of her career, she managed to secure a plain, unassuming niche for herself in the Hollywood of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

Biography

Après des débuts au théâtre notamment dans des revues et vaudevilles, Mary Treen contribue au cinéma à cent-soixante-cinq films américains, depuis Nuits viennoises d'Alan Crosland (1930, avec Alexander Gray et Jean Hersholt) jusqu'à Goodbye, Franklin High de Mike McFarland (1978, avec Julie Adams et William Windom).

Entretemps, mentionnons On lui donna un fusil de W. S. Van Dyke (1937, avec Spencer Tracy et Gladys George), La vie est belle de Frank Capra (1946, avec James Stewart et Donna Reed), Cette sacrée famille de Norman Taurog (1952, avec Cary Grant et Betsy Drake), Il a suffi d'une nuit de Joseph Anthony (1961, avec Dean Martin et Shirley MacLaine), ou encore L'Homme le plus fort du monde de Vincent McEveety (son avant-dernier film, 1975, avec Kurt Russell et Joe Flynn).

À la télévision américaine, hormis un téléfilm de 1983 (son dernier rôle à l'écran), elle apparaît dans cinquante séries à partir de 1949, dont Bonanza (deux épisodes, 1961-1962), Happy Days (un épisode, 1975) et L'Homme qui tombe à pic (sa dernière série, un épisode, 1981).
