Trivia

Son is actor Larry Hagman.

Was offered the role of Miss Ellie on "Dallas" (1978) when Barbara Bel Geddes left the show due to health problems. She turned it down. Had she accepted, she would have played the mother of JR Ewing, who was played by Martin's son, Larry Hagman.

Her father was a lawyer and her mother a violin instructor.

Introduced the song "Speak Low" in her Broadway hit "One Touch of Venus."

Won a Peabody Award for her work in the television film Valentine (1979) (TV) in 1979.

One of the few stars that legendary costume designer Edith Head disliked, or at least disliked working with. (The others were Paulette Goddard, Hedy Lamarr and Claudette Colbert).

Turned down the Broadway hits: "Oklahoma," "Kiss Me Kate," "My Fair Lady," "Funny Girl," and "Mame."

Featured in a song by Canadian indie band The New Pornographers, which song creates a fictional TV program, "The Martin Martin Show," and then makes surreal references to it. Mary Martin in fact never had a TV show called "The Mary Martin Show, although she did host a senior citizens' talk show for a few years in the 1980s.

Recreated her first Broadway showstopper "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" in the film biography of Cole Porter in Night and Day (1946).

Former mother-in-law, from 1962 to 1972, of Tony Weir.

Gave birth to a stillborn baby in May, 1945. Her daughter Heller was bitten badly by a dog, causing Martin to go into shock and be rushed to the hospital. This resulted in the stillbirth of her baby, as well as a blood transfusion.

Her best friends were Janet Gaynor, Slim Hawks, and Jean Arthur, and Frank Ross.

She has six grandchildren: Heidi Hagman (born 17 February 1958), Preston Hagman (born May 2, 1962), Timmy Weir (born in New York sometime between 1962 and 1967), Matthew Ternan Weir (born circa 1967), Mary Devon DeMeritt (born in 1975), and the last one born in 1979 to daughter Heller.
