Mona Maris

Biography

Born to a wealthy Argentine family, actress Mona Maris was educated in France, then made her first screen appearances in Britain and Germany. Maris came to Hollywood in 1929, where she starred in Spanish-language versions of popular American films. Her subsequent stateside screen career was more limited than her work elsewhere: for the most part, she was confined to the usual Hispanic stereotypes. She returned to South America in 1950, closing out her film work with 1952's La Mujer des Camilias. Previously wed to film director Clarence Brown, Mona Maris retired to Peru after her marriage to a Dutch millionaire. - Hal Erickson, Rovi
