Mary Doran

Mary Doran was born on Sep 08, 1910 in USA. Mary Doran's big-screen debut came with Half a Bride directed by Gregory La Cava in 1928. Mary Doran is known for Love Me Tonight directed by Rouben Mamoulian, Maurice Chevalier stars as Maurice and Jeanette MacDonald as Princess Jeanette. The upcoming new movie Mary Doran plays is Miss Pacific Fleet which will be released on Dec 14, 1935.

Having first aspired to become a teacher, wavy-haired, blonde Mary Doran attended the respected Ned Wayburn Dancing Academy - like countless other hopeful actresses - to learn tap dancing. She first appeared on stage in 'Betsy' (1926), a rare flop by Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. (and Rodgers & Hart), then in the hit 'Rio Rita'. Her film career lasted just eight years, 1928 (contract with MGM) to 1936. Her brief moment as leading lady can be summarised by her first major film, The Broadway Melody (1929). After that, her name descended to the lower depths of the cast list, though she did have a funny bit in the Harold Lloyd comedy Silence... on tourne! (1932). From the mid-30's, Mary was relegated to bit parts and 'quota quickies' and called it a day.
