Ayant épousé en 1945 Alfred de Liagre, elle est également connue comme Mary Howard de Liagre et se retire définitivement pour se consacrer à sa famille.

Seitz (1938, avec Mickey Rooney et Judy Garland), Abraham Lincoln de John Cromwell (1940, avec Raymond Massey dans le rôle-titre) et L'Étang tragique de Jean Renoir (un des films de sa période américaine, 1941, avec Walter Brennan et Walter Huston).
