Margaret Anne Mary "Meg" Mundy was an English-born American actress and model.
Background
She was born in London, but moved to the United States at the age of six in 1921. Mundy was born in Marylebone, London. Her mother, Australian opera singer Clytie Hine (1887–1983), studied at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide, South Australia.
Her father was English cellist John Mundy.
Career
In 1948 Mundy starred in The Respectful Prostitute (see below), but Dorothy Parker professed ignorance: "Meg Mundy? What"s that, a Welsh holiday?" Ann Dvorak succeeded Mundy in the role. She played Mary McLeod, the lead female role, in the Broadway production of Detective Story. The role was later played by Eleanor Parker in the film.
On television she played wealthy matriarch Mona Aldrich Croft on The Doctors from 1971-1982, when the show ended.
After playing the role of Isabelle Alden on the pilot for the new soap Loving, she briefly played Maeve Stoddard"s imperious mother Julia on Guiding Light. She appeared in the 1983 Walter Matthau-Robin Williams film The Survivors and in two episodes of Law & Order in the 1990s.
