Canadian-American Superstar, known as 'Queen Marie'
"Marie Dressler easily outdrew such cinematic sex symbols as Garbo, Dietrich and Harlow. To movie audiences suffering the hardships of the Great Depression, she was Everywoman. She was Bill's plain partner Min, Tugboat Annie, and Emma, the tough, no-nonsense broad who was more at home on the waterfront or in the kitchen than in the rarefied salons of Fifth Avenue. And, even if she happened to be invited to Dinner at Eight in one of those salons, Dressler was the actress who made it clear that she had not only bet her chips and collected her rewards in the great game of life, she had uncomplainingly paid her dues as well" -- Betty Lee.
