Mary Jane Irving (October 20, 1913[citation needed] – July 17, 1983) was an American actress. She appeared in 58 films between 1917 and 1938.
Irving debuted in films when she was 2 years old. She "played a lot of baby roles, then disappeared from the picture."[1] She returned to film in The Godless Girl (1928).[1] Irving portrayed Mary in the film Tom Sawyer (1930).[2] Her "first grown-up characterization" came in Arsène Lupin (1932).[1]
Irving's off-screen work as an adult included being the stand-in for Janet Gaynor. The two looked enough alike that Irving was sometimes mistaken for Gaynor.[3]
Irving attended Hollywood High School.[4]
Irving was married to screenwriter Robert Carson until his death in 1983.[5] Seven months after her husband's death, Irving died in Los Angeles, California.[citation needed]
