Mary Howard de Liagre, née Rogers (18 May 1913 – 6 June 2009〔(IMDb profile of actress Mary Howard )〕) was an American actress usually credited as Mary Howard. Mary was born in Independence, Kansas, the daughter of William Penn Adair Rogers (Will Rogers) and Betty Blake. Her father, Will Rogers, and the actor Fred Stone were great friends. Will named his third and final child after Fred. During World War II she toured service camps, helped organize the USO in Los Angeles and toured hospitals and camps for servicemen returning from war. In 1945, she moved to New York and married Alfred de Liagre Jr., a film producer who died in 1987. She was a founding member of Recording for the Blind, and served on the boards of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and the Princess Grace Foundation. On the day of her father's death in an airplane crash in Alaska, she was starring in a Broadway play along with Humphrey Bogart.
