Alice Brady (born Mary Rose Brady, November 2, 1892 – October 28, 1939) was an American actress who began her career in the silent film era and survived the transition into talkies. She worked up until six months before her death from cancer in 1939. Her films include My Man Godfrey (1936), in which she played the flighty mother of Carole Lombard's character, and In Old Chicago (1937) for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Mary Rose Brady was born in New York City. Her father, William A. Brady, was an important theatrical producer. Her mother, Rose Marie Rene, died in 1896.
She was interested at an early age in becoming an actress. She first went on the stage when she was 14 and got her first job on Broadway in 1911 at the age of 18, in a show with which her father was associated. In 1913 she appeared with John Barrymore in A Thief for a Night (adapted by P. G. Wodehouse and playwright John Stapleton from Wodehouse's novel, A Gentleman of Leisure) at McVicker's Theatre in Chicago. She continued to perform on Broadway (often in shows her father produced) consistently for the next 22 years. In 1931 she appeared in the premiere of Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. Her step-mother was actress Grace George (1879–1961), whom her father married when Alice was a child. Her half-brother was William A. Brady Jr, the son of her father and Grace George.

Empty sidewalks
Stretching under dizzy lights
Rain is humming
The streets are running
Underneath the neon lights
We run together
We'll run forever
Out of here
Riding the wheels
Look at pretty windows
At shiny people
Statues under sparkling lights
Just take a picture
A melting moment
Flashing on this crazy ride
Just close your eyes now
And breathe a sigh now
We're getting out of here
Out of here
Riding the wheels
Riding the wheels
