Marion Mack
Marion Mack (April 8, 1902May 1, 1989) was an American film actress, scriptwriter and real estate broker. Mack is best known for co-starring with Buster Keaton in the 1926 silent comedy film, ''The General''.
==Film career==
Mack was born Joey Marion McCreery in Mammoth, Utah. After graduating from high school, she sent a letter and a photograph to director Mack Sennett expressing her desire to be an actress. Sennett's manager wrote back informing Mack that they would give her an interview if she ever came to Hollywood. Mack, her father and her stepmother traveled to Hollywood shortly thereafter and sneaked into Sennett's Keystone Studios. Much to her father's disapproval, Mack was hired by Sennett as a "bathing beauty" for $25 a week. Her film debut was in ''On a Summer Day'' (1921).〔(Internet Movie Database )〕
After appearing in several short films for Sennett, she left Keystone and signed with Mermaid Pictures for $100 a week. While at Mermaid, she appeared in various comedy shorts and worked at Universal where she had roles in several Westerns. Mack returned to Mermaid after a year. In 1923, she co-wrote and appeared in a semi-autobiographical film, ''Mary of the Movies''. Around the time, she adopted the stage name "Marion Mack". ''Mary of the Movies'' was a box office success and Mack went on to leading roles in the action/crime-drama ''One of the Bravest'' (1925) and the drama ''Carnival Girl'' (1926). In 1926 she was cast in her best known role as Annabelle Lee, the estranged girlfriend of Buster Keaton's character, Johnnie Gray, in the American Civil War comedy film ''The General''. The film was a moderate success but failed to make a profit because the budget was high. Mack appeared in her final film ''Alice in Movieland'', in 1928.
Mack gave up acting after appearing in ''Alice in Movieland'' because she found the strain of filming for such long periods to be too taxing (''The General'' was shot over a six-month period in Oregon). After her retirement from acting, she began a career as a screenwriter and penned scripts for short films for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros. Mack's husband, producer Louis Lewyn, produced the films. One of the films she scripted was for Keaton, the 1938 short ''Streamlined Swing''.
