[edit] Biography
Born in New York City, she had a surrealist movie named after her: Joseph Cornell's Rose Hobart. Hobart often played the "other woman" in movies during the 1940s. On the stage, one of her best-known roles was as Grazia, in the American stage production of Death Takes a Holiday.
She co-starred with Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins in Rouben Mamoulian's terrifying definitive (original) 1931 film version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
She also played the role of Julie in the first talking picture version of Ferenc Molnar's Liliom, made by Fox Film Corporation in 1930, starring Charles Farrell in the title role, and directed by Frank Borzage.
She gave birth at age 43, but her joy turned to misery when she was caught up in the Hollywood blacklist and denied work for years, finally returning to television.
Rose Hobart died at the actors' home in Woodland Hills, California in 2000, aged 94, from natural causes.
