Marie Mosquini (born Marie de Esy;[1] December 3, 1899 – February 21, 1983) was an American film actress.

Biography[edit]

Born in 1899, Mosquini appeared in more than 200 silent films between 1917 and 1929. After leaving high school she became the resident ingenue at the Hal Roach studio, appearing opposite Roach's comedy stars Harold Lloyd, Snub Pollard, and Stan Laurel.

In 1919, Roach formed a company headed by Pollard, with Mosquini as leading lady. They later became engaged.[2] Mosquini was married to Roy Harlow, and they had one child who died at birth. In a two-year span, Harlow sued Mosquini twice for divorce. The first case was dismissed, and they reconciled. The second suit brought a cross-complaint from Mosquini, and the Los Angeles Times reported on December 31, 1925, that Mosquini "will receive a divorce decree today".[3] He also sued Mosquini's mother for alienation of his wife's affections.[3]

After obtaining a divorce from Harlow in October 1930,[4] Mosquini retired from acting and married an inventor 26 years her senior: Lee de Forest. She became his fourth and longest-lasting wife, staying with him until his death in 1961.[5] In 1967, Mosquini donated her husband's papers and historic prototypes to the Perham Foundation, now held at History San Jose. In 1968, she became a Novice Class amateur radio operator; her call sign was WB6ZJR. In 1973, she participated in a radio broadcast celebrating the centennial of her husband's birth.[6]

She was born and died in Los Angeles, California.
