Biography
In the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, Rose Masing, later known as Rosemary Theby, first took breath on April 8, 1892. Her journey into the world of cinema commenced at 27, with a role in the 1912 film The Godmother, marking the beginning of a prolific career that would span over 90 films. As a highly sought-after character actress, Theby's talent and versatility enabled her to thrive during the silent era and seamlessly transition into the dawn of the "talkies." Her personal life was equally enduring, with a marriage to director Harry Myers that lasted over two decades, until his passing in 1938. Following her appearance in the 1940 film One Million B.C., Theby stepped back from the spotlight, retiring to Kansas City, Missouri. Her life came full circle on June 10, 1973, when she passed away at the Virgil Convalescent Center in Los Angeles, California.
