Mary Field

From Wikipedia Mary Field (June 10, 1909 – June 12, 1996) was an American film actress who primarily appeared in supporting roles. She was born in New York City. As a child she never knew her biological parents. During her infancy she was left outside the doors of a church with a note pinned to her saying that her name was "Olivia Rockefeller". She would later be adopted. In 1937, she was signed under contract to Warner Bros. Studios and made her film debut in The Prince and the Pauper (1937). Her other screen credits include parts in such films as “Jezebel” (1938), “Cowboy from Brooklyn” (1938), “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse” (1938), “Eternally Yours” (1939), “When Tomorrow Comes” (1939),” Broadway Melody” of 1940, “Ball of Fire” (1941), “How Green Was My Valley” (1941), “Mrs. Miniver” (1942), “Out of the Past” (1947), and “Life With Father” (1947). During her time in Hollywood she starred in approximately 103 films. Her TV credits include parts in Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and The Loretta Young Show. In 1963, her last acting role was as a Roman Catholic nun in the television series, Going My Way, starring Gene Kelly and modeled after the 1944 Bing Crosby film of the same name. She appeared in several episodes of the television comedy, Topper, as Henrietta Topper's friend Thelma Gibney. On June 12, 1996, just two days after her 87th birthday, Mary Field died at her home in Fairfax, Virginia of complications from a stroke. She lived there with her daughter, Susana Kerstein, and son-in- Law, Bob Kerstein. She had two grandchildren, Sky Kerstein and Kendall Kerstein.
