Mae Marsh was an actress, and played her first substantial role in Ramona (1910) at the age of 15. “I tagged my way into motion pictures. I used to follow my sister Marguerite to the old Biograph studio and then, one great day, Mr. Griffith noticed me, put me in a picture and I had my chance.” She appeared in The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, and later in the John Ford films The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, 3 Godfathers, The Robe, and The Searchers. She was awarded the George Eastman Award in 1955, and has a star on the Walk of Fame.
