Great actress and she wrote two separate books about her life. One her personal autobiography and the other about her life in film. She also wrote fiction. Talented lady.

MARY ASTOR (1906 ~ 1987) Astor was equally adept at playing nurturing mothers and outright villains - and proved to be one of the best actresses of the classic era. She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "The Great Lie" (41), stealing the movie from Bette Davis and her most well-known role was as Brigid O'Shaughnessy in the classic "The Maltese Falcon" (41) opposite Bogart. Her long career spanned 44 years (from 1920 to 1964). Other notable films included: "Don Juan" (26), "Red Dust" (32), "The Hurricane" (37), "The Palm Beach Story" (42), "Meet me In St. Louis" (44) and "Little Women" (49).

Jack

I love her in "Hush, hush... sweet Charlotte" with Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland and the amazing Agnes Moorehead.

Char

She was good,she was really good

Ron

She's quite interesting as an actor. I haven't seen more than a handful of her early movies, and I'm still trying to get a fix on her appeal to audiences. The consistent qualities I've seen are poise, class and a thoughtful demeanor.

Dale

Truly lovely and such a talented actor. I’ll watch almost any film any era when I find Astor’s name in the credits.

Jerry

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ACTRESSES. LONG CAREER.GREAT ACTING. VEEY INTERSTING AND CONTROVERSIAL LIFE

Margaret

Must read for all Mary Astor or Hollywood scandal fans:Mary Astor's Purple Diary by Edward Sorel. I'm a fan of both Astor and Sorel so of course I loved it, great fun.

Howard

I liked her very much, in such films as "The Maltese Falcon", "Red Dust", "The Hurricane", "Dodsworth", "Meet Me in St. Louis", and "Return to Peyton Place".
