Bio

2011-02-15T19:34:00.003-08:00

Mary was born near Cleveland, Ohio to a Hungarian Mother and Irish Father. She grew up in a rural town called Brunswick, where she lived with her Mom. Her parents divorced when she was born. She was raised as an only child, though her father later married again, and had Mary's 2 half brothers and half sister.

Mary began her dance training at age 2, and performed on stage for the first time at age 3. She later went on to solo in a lyrical jazz company, and train with the Cleveland Ballet.

She was also a cheerleader in high school, and was flown to London twice for performances with the National Cheerleaders Association as an All-Star.

She left home at 18 with partial scholarship to Ohio State in their pre-med program, but also worked full-time as a waitress and bartender to put herself through college. She eventually missed the stage and switched to theatre, where she trained with the amazing Sue Ott Rowlands, Gile Davies, and Bruce Hermann, to name a few. She graduated Cum Laude & With Honors. She also majored in International Studies.

She continued her acting training for a year after college in Miami while modeling and bartending to pay for her classes with Tony Gaimo and Rue Flynn. She did 2 years of improv when she first moved to Los Angeles at The Next Stage Theatre, while studying at both the famed Playhouse West, and the Australian School of Dramatic Arts (AIDA) in Hollywood.

Mary's breakout role was in the award-winning film, "Parched" where she played the female lead as a broken woman in the wild west, who takes matters into her own hands. The film won at the Action on Film International Festival.

Shortly after she moved to LA, her Mother died of cancer. She ended up losing several family members that year to the disease.

Mary has gone on to star in several independent films, and continues to use her humble beginnings and poignant life experience to breathe life and depth into her roles. Whether it's as a young writer whose boyfriend's troubled past starts destroying their lives in "Well Enough Alone", or as the cooky but lovable woman in psychiatric therapy who takes a supernatural journey down memory lane in "Salvage Dream", Mary is proving herself to be one of Hollywood's up and coming leading ladies.
