Mary Lawlor (1907-77) was a musical comedy star who made her Broadway debut in 1922.
Lawlor created the role of Connie in Good News (1927), and travelled to Hollywood to play the character in MGM’s first film version.
After making one further film, a non-musical drama, Lawlor married Lyn ‘Broadway’ Lary, a major league baseball star, and retired from acting.
