Born 8 April 1892

Died 10 November 1973
Los Angeles, California, USA
Years active 1911-1940

Rosemary Theby (8 April 1892 – 10 November 1973), was an American film actor. She appeared in some 250 films between 1911 and 1940.

She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and died in Los Angeles, California. She was married to fellow actor and director Harry Myers. Theby studied at Sargent's School in New York.[1] A contemporary newspaper account described her as being of medium-height, well proportioned, with regular features and dark hair.[1]

Her first film experience came in the Vitagraph production of The Wager.[1] By 1915 she was a star for the Universal film company.[2] During World War I Theby took care of a refugee from Lithuania. After being educated and cared for by Theby, the young woman became her maid during an acute shortage of maids in Hollywood, in 1920.[3]

As Miss Corintee in The Great Love (1918), Theby played the part of a German spy with great skill. The motion picture was written and directed by D.W. Griffith.[4] This was a vamp role which she began to play frequently after depicting characters in slapstick comedies.[1] Theby played a Chinese vampire in Clung, a Fox Film production directed by Emmett Flynn.[5] Later she began to portray more serious women.[1]

Theby was solely a film actress. She declined an offer to accompany Chauncey Olcott to appear on stage for $85 per week. At the time she was earning $125 weekly in movies. She later regretted her decision because of the experience she would have gained.[1]

In January 1920 Theby and Ruth Roland were guests of heavyweight champion boxer Jack Dempsey. He gave them a tour of the gardens adjacent to his Los Angeles, California home.[6]

She supported Calvin Coolidge in the 1924 presidential election. Theby enjoyed playing golf, wearing her hair in a Bob cut, and possessed a preoccupation with personal cleanliness.[7] On screen she appeared tall and willowy, entering a scene with a sensuous glide.[8]

Myers died in December 1938. He and Theby made their way in Hollywood acting for companies like Lubin and Universal Pictures.[9]

Trivia

Featured in many slapstick comedy shorts for Charley Chase and Mack Sennett, while appearing opposite film's top comedians at the time such as Andy Clyde, Oliver Hardy and W.C. Fields.

She and her actor/director husband Harry Myers suffered severe financial setbacks during the Depression and took on many minor, often unbilled roles after the age of sound thanks to the generosity of such friends as Oliver Hardy.

Her first big film hit was in Shakespeare's much shortened version of As You Like It (1912) playing the starring role of Cecila.

Brunette American leading lead with slender, petite figure and expressive mournful eyes. She played alluring types such as the harem girl Kut-al-Kulub in Kismet (1920) and scheming Queen Morgan Le Fey in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1921).

Harry and Rosemary's most successful film together was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1921) in which Harry played the title role opposite Rosemary's Morgan Le Fey.
