The actress Rosemary Theby was born as Rose Masing. She conquered the world of cinema in 1911 when she made her film debut with "The Sacrifice" (11).
In the next years she became a much demanded actress and she took part in countless movies, often for Charley Chase and Mack Sennett. She acted in many slapstick movies and partnered film comedians like W.C. Fields and Oliver Hardy.

To her well-known movies of the next years belong "The Illumination" (12), "Wanted, a Sister" (12), "The Two Battles" (12), "As You Like It" (12), "The Godmother" (12), "The Reincarnation of Karma" (12), "The Little Minister" (13), "The Web" (13), "The Silver Cigarette Case" (13) and "The Wager" (13).

The following years offered her again numerous roles and she impersonated roles in "Madam Coquette" (14), "The Double Life" (14), "Men at Their Best" (15), "Saved By a Dream" (15), "The Prize Story" (15), "Man and Morality" (16), "The Model Husband" (16), "The Latest in Vampires" (16), "The Hash House Mystery" (17), "The Winged Mystery" (18), "The Rogue" (18), "The Great Love" (18) directed by D.W. Griffith, "The Straight and Narrow" (18), "The Spender" (19) and "Upstairs and Down" (19).

She continued her career in the 20's and still acted regularly in front of the camera. To her popular movies of those years belong"Terror Island" (20), "Kismet" (20), "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (21), "Shame" (21), "The Last Trail" (21), "The Eternal Flame" (22), "In Search of a Thrill" (23), "The Red Lily" (24), "As Man Desires" (25), "One Year to Live" (25), "Riding to Fame" (27), "The Chinatown Mystery" (28) and "Montmartre Rose" (29).

The arising sound film ended her stardom and the depression baggied her fortune significantly. Thank to friends like Oliver Hardy she was able to play smaller roles in the 30's which brought her and her husband - the actor and director Harry Myers - a secured income. 
To her movies of the 30's belong "Bulls and Bears" (30), "Taxi Troubles" (31), "Man on the Flying Trapeze" (35), "San Francisco" (36), "Yours for the Asking" (36), "The Devil Is Driving" (37) and "Undercover Doctor" (39).

After the movie "One Million B.C." (40) she retired from the film business.
