Marie Mosquini on AllMovie

A delightful silent screen comedienne, who in 1918 co-starred in Stan Laurel's first series for slapstick producer Hal Roach, dark-haired Los Angeles native Marie Mosquini is perhaps best known for her four comedies with Will Rogers, including the hilarious parody Two Wagons Both Covered (1924). Like so many of her contemporaries with Roach and other comedy producers, Mosquini was always at her best in two-reelers and her few feature film roles are not memorable. She married sound recording pioneer Lee DeForest in 1930 and retired to become a well-known society hostess.
