Mary Clare (17 July 1892 at Lambeth, London, Surrey - 29 August 1970 at Harrow, London, Middlesex) was a British actress who performed in films, on the stage and later on television.
Mary Clare Absalom was born in 1892 (not 1894 as some other reports state). She trained at a dramatic school and began her career on the London stage at the age of 18 in 1910. She appeared in the film The Black Spider in 1920, and thereafter divided her time between the stage and the cinema. In September 1936 she played the leading role in the play Laura Garnett, by Leslie and Sewell Stokes, at the Arts Theatre Club, London.
In the theatre, she played the lead role of the victim in Agatha Christie's 1945 play Appointment with Death
In films, she was mainly a character actress and in later life often portrayed mature ladies who had strength of character or were autocratic. In 1938, she was featured opposite Robert Donat and Rosalind Russell in The Citadel. The sole film in which she played the leading role was Mrs Pym of Scotland Yard in 1939. She appeared in two of the British-made Alfred Hitchcock films, Young and Innocent and The Lady Vanishes, playing vastly different characters. She played the part of Linda Singer in two different versions of The Constant Nymph and had previously been in the stage version. In 1956, she was in several TV episodes in British television.

Genres: Short,Du siehst im Schlaf wie'n kleiner Engel aus
Und Susi liegt gleich neben dir
'Ne Woche lang war ich jetzt nicht zu Haus
Ich schau dich an und denk' bei mir
'S war wie 'ne kleine Ewigkeit
So wie verlor'ne Zeit
Hab' dich total vermißt
Und das war jetzt 'ne Woche bloß
Doch kleine Mädchen werden groß
Wer weiß wo du dann bist
Marie-Claire oh Marie-Claire
Gib das Licht in deinem Herzen nicht her
Marie-Claire solang' es scheint
Wirst du stärker als das Leben sein
Daß du Recht und Unrecht spürst
Deinen Glauben nie verlierst
Und dir selber treu bleibst - wünsch' ich dir
Marie-Claire bist du mal sehr allein
Holen meine Träume dich schon ein
Eines Tages wenn sich unser Weg mal teilt
Geh deinen Weg hab keine Angst
Bis die Erinnerung die Wunden heilt
Geh geradeaus so gut du kannst
Glaub' an Ehrlichkeit und Fantasie
Schäm' dich der Tränen nie
Denn sie gehör'n dazu
Zu Liebe und zu Zärtlichkeit
Zum Leben hier in dieser Zeit
Genau - genau wie du
Marie-Claire oh Marie-Claire
Gib das Licht in deinem Herzen nicht her
Marie-Claire solang' es scheint
Wirst du stärker als das Leben sein
Marie-Claire oh Marie-Claire
Meine Liebe läßt dich nie allein
Seh' dich selig schlafen
Geb' dir 'n Kuß und denke mir
Bald bist du kein kleines Mädchen mehr
Na dann träum' schön Marie-Claire
