Mae Marsh (born Mary Wayne Marsh, November 9, 1895
in Madrid, New Mexico, died February 13, 1968 in
Hermosa Beach, California) was an actress with a
career spanning over 50 years. She first started
as an extra in various movies, and had first
speaking role in the film Ramona (1910) at the age
of 15.

Working with Mack Sennett and D.W. Griffith, she
was a prolific actress, sometimes appearing in
eight movies a year. Her first leading role was in
Griffith's film Man's Genesis (1912), and also
appeared in his films The Birth of a Nation (1915)
and Intolerance (movie)|Intolerance (1916). She
signed a lucrative contract with Samuel Goldwyn
worth $2500/week after Intolerance, but none of
those films were particularly successful. After
her marriage to Lee Arms, a publicity agent for
Goldwyn, in 1918, her film output decreased to
about one per year.

As her career progressed, she appeared in numerous
memorable films, such as Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm (1932). She also became a favorite of
director John Ford, appearing in The Grapes of
Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), and
The Searchers (1956).

Marsh has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
located at 1600 Vine Street.
