Biography

Mary Kornman, a vibrant and blonde actress, embarked on her acting journey at the tender age of five. Her early start in the entertainment industry was marked by her endearing and spirited performances in the 1920s' "Our Gang" short films. She was particularly notable for her recurring on-screen pairing with Mickey Daniels, with whom she shared a special chemistry.

After leaving the "Rascals" series, Kornman and Daniels reunited to star in a new series of comedy shorts, titled "The Boy Friends," which was produced by Hal Roach in 1932. This collaboration marked a significant milestone in Kornman's career, as she made a memorable cameo appearance alongside Daniels in the Little Rascals short film "Fish Hooky" (1933),playing the role of the gang's teacher.

The "Boy Friends" series lasted for three years, after which Kornman ventured out on her own, but struggled to achieve significant success beyond "B" pictures. Eventually, she left the entertainment industry in 1940 and passed away in 1973, bringing an end to her remarkable yet tumultuous career.
