Chicago transplant Mary Webster — in all honesty — had a pretty unremarkable career. As a twenty-year old aspiring actress, she took roles portraying teenage characters in episodic television. She made her big screen debut in 1957 opposite Jerry Lewis in The Delicate Delinquent, his first full-length motion picture after his split with partner Dean Martin. Later the same year, Mary costarred in The Tin Star, a role that prepared her for a string of Western roles that would follow. She was featured in a number of guest roles in Westerns, dramas, two episodes of Twilight Zone and even a few comedies into the early 1960s, when she left Hollywood and retired from acting.

And then, in 1991, Mary showed up as a contestant on the popular game show Jeopardy! during the Seniors Tournament.

Her passing in 2017 at the age of 81 warranted a small write up in The Hollywood Reporter.
