Mary Livingstone
:''For the wife of explorer David Livingstone see Mary Livingstone (née Moffat)''
Mary Livingstone (born Sadie Marks or possibly Sadye Marks, June 23, 1906 (or possibly 1905)〔1. She was said by Jack Benny to have been 14 when she first Jack in April, 1921 which would match the 1906 date. See Sunday Nights at Seven, p. 30 2. (California Death Records ) for Mary Benny says born 23 June 1906. 3. 1930 Census records gives the name Sadye and an age of 24 (implying 1906) (available on ancestry.com) 4. 1929 Passenger List for the S.S. City of Honolulu gives the name Sadye and a birth date of June 23, 1906 (available on ancestry.com) 5. 1931 Passenger List for S.S.

She was the wife and radio partner of comedy great Jack Benny. Enlisted almost entirely by accident to perform on her husband's popular program, she proved a talented comedienne. But she also proved one of the rare performers to experience severe stage fright years after her career was established—so much so that she retired from show business completely, after two decades in the public eye, almost three decades before her death and at the height of her husband and partner's fame.
==Early life==
Livingstone was born in Seattle, but raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Livingstone's father was a Jewish immigrant from Romania. She came from a family of merchants and traders who had worked their way across Canada. Their family name of Markovitz was, at some point, anglicized to Marks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obituary: Mary Livingstone, Radio Star with Husband. Jack Benny )〕 According to the International Jack Benny Fan Club,〔(International Jack Benny Fan Club )〕 stories that Livingstone was related to the Marx Brothers or their uncle Al Shean of Gallagher and Shean are unfounded. She met her future husband, Jack Benny, at a Passover seder at her family home when she was 14; Benny was invited by his friend Zeppo (b. Herbert) Marx while Benny and the Marx Brothers were in town together to perform. Sadie developed a near-instant crush on the funny, somewhat shy man 11 years her senior. But when he inadvertently insulted her by excusing himself for the night in the midst of her violin performance, she got her revenge the next night. She took three girlfriends to the theater where Benny performed, sitting in the front row and making sure not to laugh. Benny said later it drove him nuts that he couldn't get the four girls to laugh at anything.
