“I’ve had a beautiful life, I’ve tumbled into the most beautiful life in the world. I’d never change it.”
Mary Nolan, born Mary Imogene Robertson, started her career as a showgirl for the Ziegfeld Follies under the stage name Bubbles Wilson. She was later fired in 1924 from the Follies due to a scandal involving comedian Frank Tinney.
For a short she made films in Germany. She returned to the US in 1927 and in an attempt to distance herself from her old life she adopted the stage name Mary Nolan. She found success in films at Universal but only until the 1930s. Her drug abuse and reputation for being temperamental made finding film work at major studios impossible. Through 1933, her last film role, she appeared in B-movies.
After her film career she performed in vaudeville and nightclubs around the US. Her drug problems made working impossible so in 1939 she returned to Hollywood and spent her last years in obscurity.
She died of an overdose of Seconal, a barbiturate, in 1948 at the age of 45. Her death is listed as accidental or suicide. It has never been proven that she took the overdose on purpose.
