Rosina May Lawrence

 Rosina May Lawrence (December 30, 1912 – June 23, 1997)

She was born to British parents, George Frederick Francis Lawrence and Annie Louise Hagar, who became naturalised United States citizens in 1939. Lawrence's nationality was given as British and it is unclear if she ever became a United States citizen. Lawrence had a short but memorable career in the 1930s before she married in 1939 and retired from entertainment. She is best known for portraying Mary Roberts in Laurel and Hardy's Way Out West (1937); she also provided the "high" voice when Stan Laurel sang "Trail of the Lonesome Pine". She played schoolteacher "Miss Lawrence" in eight Our Gang comedies from 1936-37. Lawrence also appeared as "Alice Lowell" in Charlie Chan's Secret and "Cecilia Moore" in Pick A Star. Her final performance was in the 1939 Italian comedy film In the Country Fell a Star, in which she plays an American film star who causes great excitement when she appears in a small Italian town. Lawrence and Juvenal P. Marchisio married in 1939, and she left acting to become a housewife. Rosina Lawrence died of cancer on June 23, 1997 in New York City, aged 84.
