These are only two of the most famous items in her filmography. She’s been looking for and shining in fulfilling roles for decades. Acting helped her center her life after the devastating loss of her father. It gave her an outlet for the fiery energy he’d instilled into her.

It took time for her to become a mainstream success, but she was willing to put in the work. It all paid off as she shone on the stage and screen. It also took time for her to find love. She admits that she dated many actors before finding love with her Grand Canyon costar Randel Mell. She thought he was talented and thought they shared the same interests and values. It seemed like a perfect match. Mary surprised the world recently by proving that the match wasn’t as perfect as it seemed. Her marriage with has ended, and they’re legally separated.

It’s a curious situation. What could have made her give up after three decades? They were both strong personalities. The two stars could have burned too brightly together. Legal separation also has a lot to do with property. Perhaps one of them bought something they needed to protect. Neither one is hurting for money, but there may have been a more personal monetary reason for the separation the world doesn’t know about. Whatever the reason, their love story has reached its end. Her career is still going strong. Much of her life is unaffected, but her children are likely to feel the burn.
