Mae Busch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mae Busch (June 18, 1891 – April 19, 1946) was an Australian film actress, born in Melbourne, Australia, who worked in both silent and sound films in early Hollywood. Mae was a member of a musical family. She first appeared on stage and then in vaudeville.
She worked at Keystone Studios and, most memorably, with Laurel and Hardy at the Hal Roach Studios. At the pinnacle of her film career Mae was known as the versatile vamp. After being absent from films for some years Miss Busch returned to make Masquerade in Mexico and Stork Club, both in 1945. She had roles in approximately one hundred and thirty motion pictures beginning with The Agitator and The Water Nymph, both released in 1912.
Mae Busch died in 1946, age 55, at a San Fernando Valley sanitarium where she had been ill for five months. She was the wife of Thomas C. Tate, a civil engineer. Their residence was 1219 North Beechwood Drive, Los Angeles, California. Funeral arrangements were carried out by Pierce Brothers Hollywood Mortuary.
