MARY CROSBY
Name: Mary Frances Crosby
Born: 14 September 1959
Mary Frances Crosby (born 14 September 1959) is an American actress. She is most
often credited as simply Mary Crosby for her performances.
She was born in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of the singer and
actor Bing Crosby, from his second marriage to the actress Kathryn Grant. She
graduated from high school at 15. She then entered the University of Texas at
Austin where she became a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, but dropped out
of the University before graduating. She is fluent in Spanish.
Aunt of Denise Crosby and L.Chip Crosby Jr
Cousin of Cathy Crosby and Chris Crosby
Niece of the bandleader Bob Crosby and the agent Larry Crosby
Sister of Harry Crosby and Nathaniel Crosby
Half-sister of Gary, Dennis, Phillip and Lindsay Crosby
She has been twice married:
1) Eb Lottimer (1978- divorced)
2) Mark Brodka (1998 - present); two children (born 2000 and 2002)
Crosby may be best remembered for her role as Kristin Shepard (Sue Ellen Ewing's
scheming sister) on the TV series Dallas from 1979 to 1981. Her character is
best remembered for her role in the cliffhanger ending of the 1979-1980 season
of Dallas. In that highly watched episode, J.R. Ewing, (played by Larry Hagman)
was shot by an unknown assailant. Viewers had to wait all summer (and most of
the fall due to a Hollywood actors' strike) to learn whether J.R. would survive,
and which of his many enemies was responsible. During the summer of 1980, the
question, "Who shot J.R.?", was being asked in everyday conversations around the
world. Ultimately, Kristin Shepard (Crosby) was revealed to have been the person
who pulled the trigger in the classic "Who Done It?" episode that aired on
November 21, 1980. It was one of the highest-rated episodes of a TV show ever
aired.
Crosby's character, Kristin Shepard, later crossed over to the TV series Knots
Landing in the 1980-81 season, and returned to Dallas in 1981, where she was
found drowned in the Southfork Ranch swimming pool.
