Marie Dressler


 Marie Dressler, November 9, 1868, Cobourg, Canada - July 28, 1934, Santa Barbara, CA. People seem to love her but rather than trying to quote the final scene from "Dinner at Eight", with Jean Harlow, tell me what other films you have seen her in as she made 31 films between 1914 and 1933. She made 9 with Polly Moran and 7 of them are in circulation. She also worked with Marion Davies, Greta Garbo, William Haines, Norma Shearer, Robert Young, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Wallace Beery after her return to films in 1927.

Harlow (as Kitty Packard): I was reading a book the other day.
Dressler (as Carlotta Vance): Reading a book?
Harlow: It's all about civilization or something. A nutty kind of book.! Do you know the guy says machinery is going to take the place of every profession?
Dressler: Oh, my dear! That's something you need never worry about.
There. Dressler made only one film after this, "Christopher Bean", but it has been out of circulation for decades.
