This was followed by 'Captain Jinks' and 'The Silver Box' with the same company, and in 1915 she acted in George Bernard Shaw's play 'Major Barbara' at the Playhouse Theatre. The versatile actress was as adept at comedy ('Captain Applejack',1921-22) as she was in drama (Cassie in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,1933).
She is best remembered on screen for being nasty to Shirley Temple in Heidi (1937) and The Little Princess (1939), and for playing Katharine Hepburn's elegant and proper society mother in The Philadelphia Story (1940).

Mary Nash was briefly married to the actor José Ruben ((1888-1969).

10) Erick Gosse
Erick's first production was organized, individually produced, and personally funded within 8 months, followed by four more film projects, including the feature film he also stars in, Loaded (2007/I), now available in stores and on line at Blockbuster and Netflix.
His decision to enter the film industry full time was made after he decided to make a clean break from corporate America and focus his business talents and creative energy in the film industry, as was his primary passion since 1986, when a casting director approached him and asked for a screen test, landing him the lead in a series of Pizza Hut commercials with Rich Hall .
Erick has also had several principal commercial roles, produced and appeared in several films shot from Los Angeles to Dallas, as well as appearing on "Prison Break" (2005) as Agent Hara.
Producing seems to be the backbone of Erick's creative strengths as he's preparing to air two new original programs this spring, titled "Beyond the Velvet Rope" starring the Krupa Sisters Joanna Krupa and Marta Krupa, and "Critical Diagnosis" hosted by Leeza Gibbons. Most recently off the heels of shooting the 30-year reunion for the hit series "Dallas" (1978), and Larry Hagman, Erick's focus moving forward will most likely be producing, writing, and directing original works with his wife 'Julie J. Gosse'.
Erick looks forward to his Directorial film debut this summer in the collaborative script penned by he and his wife, Julie J. Gosse, titled "Trepidation".
