Mary Carr (née Kenevan; March 14, 1874 – June 24, 1973), was an American film actress and was married to the actor William Carr. She appeared in more than 140 films from 1915 to 1956. She was given some of filmdoms plum mother roles in silent pictures, especially Fox's 1920Over the Hill to the Poorhouse, which was a great success.^[1] She was interred inCalvary Cemetery.^[2] Carr bore a strong resemblance toLucy Beaumont, another famous character actress of the time who specialized in mother roles. As older actresses such asMary Maurice andAnna Townsend passed on, Carr, still in her forties, seem to inherit all the matriarchal roles in silent films.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Mary Carr appeared on the June 9, 1954 episode of the radio quiz program "You Bet Your Life", hosted by comedianGroucho Marx.^[6]

The Carrs' oldest son, William, died at age two. Almost all of her children were involved in the film business and appeared with her inOver the Hill.^[7] Her children are:
