Mary Carr

Mary Carr

Actor 23 · 1917 – 1940 · 🎬 23 · 🇺🇸 United States

Mary Carr was an American film actress, both in the silent and sound era of film. She appeared in more than 140 films from 1915 to 1956, and 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. Carr bore a strong resemblance to Lucy Beaumont, another famous character actress of the time who specialized in maternal roles. As older actresses such as Mary Maurice and Anna Townsend passed on, Carr, still in her forties, seemed to inherit all the matriarchal roles in silent films.
