Mae Charlotte Dahlberg ( May ) ( born May 24, 1888 in Brunswick, Victoria, † 1969 or 1970 in New York City ) was an Australian vaudeville dancer and actress.
Life
The daughter of Louis Dahlberg (* around 1859 in Sweden ), and Mary Jane, born Gundry (* around 1866 in Adelaide ), who had geheiratetet in June 1885, learned at a young age dancing. Her older sisters were Annie and Edith.
From 1906 she was in the Tasmanian capital of Hobart with the baritone Rupert William Cuthbert (* 1884) together. In August, she appeared in the local Temperance Hall and in December at the Hippodrome in Adelaide. After was born in April 1907 in Brunswick Rupert Clifton Saxe Cuthbert, they lived from 1909 in Rupert's home Albert Park. Between 1906 and 1912 the couple appeared in various music halls in eastern Australia: Broken Hill ( 1909), Hobart (1910 ), Brisbane and Sydney ( 1912). In February 1913, she had to sue by JM Woolf from Sandringham their fees. Thereafter, the three moved to the United States and came on 28 May 1913 on the RMS Niagara in Seattle.
Mae came in 1916 with her colleague Cissy Hayden The Hayden Sisters on. They met in October 1917 at the young comedian Arthur Stanley ( Stan) Jefferson, who appeared with the couple Alice and Baldy Cooke as a trio, followed by developing a romance between Mae and Jefferson. Jefferson sought a shorter stage name. As Mae later John McCabe (1920-2005) explained, a colleague in the wardrobe would have left a history book in which Scipio Africanus Major was imaged with a laurel wreath (English Laurel ), which inspired her to named Stan Laurel. Under the name Mae Laurel, she appeared in 13 films at the page with Stan. The dominant and temperamentally difficult artist insisted to participate in all the films of her partner, although they are not received by the audience. Instead, she received a severance payment of Joe Rock in 1925 under the condition to retreat back to Australia.
Maybe she married in 1929 the actor Jack Wall. In 1936, she traveled back to the United States, where newspapers reported by November 19 that she wanted to sue Laurel on a monthly maintenance of $ 750 or $ 1,000. She stated that they had married on 18 June 1919. The suit was dismissed in January. In 1942 she lived in Corio, Victoria.
