From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Marie Dressler (born Leila Marie Koerber, November 9, 1868 – July 28, 1934) was a Canadian-American stage and screen actress, comedian, and early silent film and Depression-era film star. Successful on stage in vaudeville and comic operas, she was also successful in film. Leaving home at the age of 14, Dressler built a career on stage in traveling theatre troupes, where she learned to appreciate her talent in making people laugh. In 1892 she started a career on Broadway that lasted into the 1920s, performing comedic roles that allowed her to improvise to get laughs. From one of her successful Broadway roles, she played the titular role in the first full-length screen comedy, Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914), opposite Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand. She made several shorts, but mostly worked in New York City on stage. Her career declined in the 1920s. In 1927, Dressler returned to films at the age of 59 and experienced a remarkable string of successes. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1930–31 for Min and Bill and was named the top film star for 1932 and 1933. Marie Dressler died of cancer in 1934.

Marie Dressler, nascuda Leila Marie Koerber (Cobourg, Canadà, 9 de novembre de 1868 - Santa Bàrbara, Califòrnia, 28 de juliol de 1934), va ser una actriu canadenca. Va iniciar la seva carrera artística als catorze anys. Va debutar a Broadway el 1892. Inicialment, desitjava fer carrera com a cantant d'òpera, però va acabar fent vodevil. El 1919, durant la vaga de l'Actors Equity Association a Nova York, es va crear la Chorus Equity Association i Dressler va esdevenir la primera presidenta de l'associació. El 1927, a causa de la seva relació amb la vaga, les companyies teatrals la van col·locar en una llista negra. Tanmateix, gràcies a l'ajuda del cap de Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Louis B. Mayer, va poder tornar a actuar al cinema. Malgrat tenir més de seixanta anys, Dressler es va fer coneguda a Hollywood. Per la seva actuació en Min and Bill, va rebre l'Oscar a la millor actriu el 1931. El 1932, va rebre una nominació al mateix premi per la seva actuació en Emma. Dressler va realitzar diverses pel·lícules reeixides el 1933, incloent-hi la comèdia El sopar és a les vuit. Tanmateix, la seva carrera va arribar al final quan va ser diagnosticada de càncer terminal.
