Biography:The daughter of actress "Freda Jones", dark-eyed, sad-faced child performer "Marcia Mae Jones" was an infant when she made her screen bow in "Mannequin" (1926). There was always an air of tragedy about Marcia Mae; more often than not she played cripples or consumptives who didn't survive past reel five. She was at her best as the terror-stricken Rosalie, the virtual slave of vitriolic "Bonita Granville", in "These Three" (1936). She also proved a good, realistic "opposite" to sweetness'n'light "Shirley Temple" in "Heidi" (1937) and "A Little Princess". In the 1940s, Jones played grown-up leads in several Monogram and PRC films; she was always worth watching, even when he films were barely tolerable. Latterly billed as "Marsha Jones", the actress continued appearing in supporting and minor roles in TV and films until the early 1970s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
