Mary Martin (born Norma Martin, and sometimes credited as Marty Martin, especially early on in her career) was a silent film actress who was active in Hollywood in the 1910s.[1][2] Mary was born in Fresno, California.[3] In 1914, she moved to Santa Barbara, where she quickly began appearing in a string of silent films with the American Film Company, also known as Flying A Studios.[4][5] She married actor-director Rae Berger in 1916 and seems to have retired from acting around 1917.[6]
