Mary Dawne Arden

I always hoped we would bump into each other in the city.
I lost track of you but will always remember the fun we had
living in Rome and Paris in the 60ties I hope your end was
peaceful and I will treasure your memory.I just saw it in the SAG obituaries. Love, Barbara Landegger

Dear Mary Dawne
I met you one afternoon in NY you felt like a soul sister. We giggled the whole afternoon with the sheer joy of meeting up.
May your path home be clear as you shine on your way
Many joyful blessings Tamayra Sydney Australia.

I am so sad and shocked!!! I was May Co/LA/Wilshire fashion director as a 21 year old in 1969. Mary Dawne "bounced "into my life after she returned from Italy and was a pro as a model. She and Art were living in Bel Air. MDA became the sis that I did not have. At this moment, I just called her NYC number with a disconnection notice. WHAT!? I would call her every few months from CA's OC. We spoke frequently. I have offered her housing over the years (and she was here in a heartbeat) whenever...

I met Mary Dawne at the dental office I work at! She had some work done , but what I remember most is that she always tried to tell me what I should do about my hair, make-up just things like that! It was very sweet, she spoke a bit about her past abilities to me & I actually surprised her on one of her appointments by putting my hair up & she was very happy & commented how much better I looked.

Mary Dawne Arden,

In retrospect, our travels perhaps reminded her of her journeys from one country to another, so generous and genuine she was with her support of our careers in NY. Her coaching, advice regarding accents, local demeanor, body language, and mentality held...

Goodbye, dear Mary Dawne, You were a special friend and an inspiration to all who knew you. There is another star in the heavens - with love, muriel

Dear Mary Dawne... I got to know her when she agreed to be interviewed for a biography I was writing about the Italian film director Mario Bava, for whom she had worked. I interviewed dozens of people for that book, from all over the globe, but - being an entrepreneur herself - she took an interest in me and my efforts, and appreciated how my work could benefit her own self-promotion in terms of what she was doing at the time. We helped each other. In interviewing her, I learned a lot about...

My profound sympathies in learning of Mary Dawne Arden's decease. Her labors in the arts and the ineradicable imprint she made there will continue her legacy for others to cherish.
