Marsha Mason Wiki Biography

Marsha Mason was born on the 3rd April 1942, in St. Louis, Missouri USA, of British and Polish descent. She is an actress, probably best recognized for starring in the role of Maggie Paul in the film “Cinderella Liberty” (1973), playing Paula McFadden in the film “The Goodbye Girl” (1977), and as Sherry Dempsey in the TV series “Frasier” (1997-1998). Her career has been active since 1966.

So, have you ever wondered how rich Marsha Mason is, as of early 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the total size of Marsha’s net worth is over $10 million, accumulated through her successful involvement in the entertainment industry as an actress. Another sources is coming from the sales of her autobiographical book “Journal: A Personal Odyssey” (2000).

Marsha Mason and her younger sister were raised in a Catholic family by her father, James Joseph Mason, who was a pinter, and her mother, Jacqueline Helena. She spent her childhood in Crestwood, and attended Nerinx Hall High School, a private high school for girls, after which she enrolled at Webster University. Beside that, she also was a student of Drama at HB Studio in New York City. As a teenager, Marsha competed for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), driving a Mazda RX-3.

Marsha’s professional acting career began in 1966, when she made her debut appearance in the film “Hot Rod Hullabaloo”, which was followed by the role of Marcia Stillwell in the 1968 film “Beyond The Law”. After that, she made several guest-appearances in such TV series as “Dark Shadows” (1969) and “Young Dr. Kildare” (1972). In the following year, she won two memorable roles, portraying Arlene in Paul Mazursky’s film “Blume In Love”, and as Maggie Paul in the drama film “Cinderella Liberty”. By the end of the decade, Marsha was also cast in such film titles as “The Goodbye Girl” (1977), starring in the role of Paula McFadden, “The Cheap Detective” (1978), playing Georgia Merkle, and in “Chapter Two” (1979), as Jennie MacLaine. All of these roles increased enormously her popularity as well as her net worth.

During the 1980s, Marsha landed the role of Georgia Hines in the film “Only When I Laugh” (1981), playing Nora McPhee in “Max Dugan Returns” (1983), and as Aggie in “Heartbreak Ridge” (1986) directed by Clint Eastwood, among others, all of which increased her net worth by a large margin. Her next big role came in 1991, when she was cast in the film “Drop Dead Fred”, and later, in 1997, she was chosen to portray Sherry Dempsey in the TV series “Frasier” (1997–1998), starring alongside Kelsey Grammer and Jane Leeves, which added a considerable amount to her net worth.

The new millennium didn’t change too much for her, as she continued with her successful career, appearing in the role of Catherine Darcy in the film “Bride & Prejudice” (2004), which is based on Jane Austen’s novel, and guest-starring in such TV series as “Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From The Stories Of Stephen King” (2006) and “Army Wives” (2008). Two years later, she was selected to play Pat Spence in the TV series “The Middle”, which lasted until 2016, contributing a lot to her net worth.

Most recently, Marsha appeared in the 2013 film “Untitled Bounty Hunter Project”, and was cast in the TV series “Madam Secretary” (2015-2016), “The Good Wife” (2016), and “Grace And Frankie” (2016-2017), so her net worth is certainly still rising.

To speak further about her acting career, Marsha has been also active on Broadway stage since her debut appearance in the 1968 play “Cactus Flower”. Beside that, she also starred in plays such as “The Prisoner Of Second Avenue” (1999), “Steel Magnolias” (2005), and “Impressionism” (2009).

Thanks to her accomplishments, she has won a number of recognitions and awards, including the Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her work on “Cinderella Liberty” in 1974, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical for “The Goodbye Girl” in 1978, and she won two Lifetime Achievement Awards – from Temecula Valley International Film Festival in 2001, and St. Louis International Film Festival in 2002.

Speaking about her personal life, Marsha Mason has been married twice – her first husband was Gary Campbell from 1965 to 1970, and her second was with screenwriter Neil Simon (1973-1983). She has no children.

Marsha Mason Quotes

  • [Interview with Andrea Chambers, June 1985] I thought I wasn’t attractive or talented anymore. I cried easily and was depressed and removed.

  • I realized a lot of my own personal sense of identity was wrapped up in my work. So moving to New Mexico…what was really wonderful was I discovered the work is the work and Marsha is Marsha and a lot of various pieces make up Marsha.
  • I hope I won’t ever find a piece of film from it. — MM, referring to her first film, Hot Rod Hullabaloo (1966)
  • I always felt rightly or wrongly after being a part of a marriage and a public sort of couple the whole thing sort of felt very strange here. The idea of being a single woman in Hollywood is a very peculiar thing.
