Mary???
I know that the real Mary died at a very young age. They cast a teenager as Mary in the first movie, but where is she in this one? Did they explain her death or simply ignore it?
shareI have been wondering about that as well. As far as I know they never talk about mary again in this movie...they really just ignore it, I guess.
shareYes, Mary would not be alive by at least the sequel, but I've heard the Gilbreth family rarely mentioned her death and continually referred and pictured a DOZEN children to keep her in their memory.
shareMary died in 1912 at the age of six of diptheria. It was something that Frank and Lillian never got over. I can remember reading that Frank Gilbreth would get very depressed about it. A good article is:
