MARY CARLISLE | 104

Mary Carlisle rose to fame in the 1930s when she starred in the movie College Humor with Bing Crosby. This opened the road to more prominent roles for her, and she eventually landed roles in movies like Double or Nothing and Doctor Rhythm. Having lived for 104 years, she can now enjoy the benefits of her seniors’ insurance. She retired in 1942 after she got married and it doesn’t seem like she has needed the services of a divorce attorney as she is currently still married to the same person until now.

Her acting career began with Jackie Coogan’s Long Live the King (in an uncredited role) and she was later discovered by Universal Studio’s heir Carl Laemmle Jr. Apparently, she was seen in the studio canteen eating with her mother. In 1960, 17 years after her retirement as an actress, she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
