Marjorie Gateson
Marjorie Augusta Gateson (January 17, 1891 – April 17, 1977) was an American stage and film actress. Biography Gateson was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Augusta and Daniel Gateson. Her maternal grandfather and brother were clergymen; Some sources state her father was one too, but Axel Nissen in his book ''Mothers, Mammies and Old Maids: Twenty-Five Character Actresses of Golden Age Hollywood'' writes that he was a contractor.

She made her Broadway debut at the age of 21 in the chorus of the musical ''The Dove of Peace'' on November 4, 1912; the show closed after 12 performances. During the much longer run of her nex ...
