Vale – Mary Anderson

Mary Anderson, one of the co-stars of the classic 1939 film Gone With The Wind, has passed away.

Ms Anderson appeared in a couple of uncredted roles prior to being given the plus co-star position of Maybelle Merriweather in Gone With The Wind, her first major film. The 1940’s were particularly busy for Anderson, who went on to appear in a number of starring roles including film such as Bahama Passage (1941), Lifeboat (for Hitchcock, in 1944), To Each His Own (1946), I The Jury (1953) and Dangerous Crossing (1953).

Ms Anderson ended her film career in the 50’s, although she returned to the small screen as a co-star on the Peyton Place television series, in 1964.

Mary Anderson passed away on April 6th, in California. She turned 96 only three days earlier.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
