I've always very much liked her. Marcia Mae was a terrific child and teen actress, who performed very believably, and was outstanding at conveying the full range of emotions. In 1936's These Three the tremendously emotional (including portraying extreme terror and torment) performance she gives is absolutely bravura. I the other year created a These Three thread https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/54569-these-three/discuss/58ab00f0c3a3686f0f004561?language=en-US about her and Bonita Granville in that.
Marcia Mae seemed like a sweet person. I'll always remember her in Heidi (1937), in which she was highly endearing as the lonely girl confined to a wheelchair. I'll always also remember her in 1931's Night Nurse, in which she and her sister are being literally starved to death (intentionally) [by none other than Clark Gable's 'Nick' character].
Many thanks to this delightful, talented, appreciated, lovely Classic Films veteran, whose career dated back to the very beginning of the sound era.

Yes, very nicely done, Gen,
Well, even though MM Jones is given little to do in "Imitation of Life" as Peola's Classmate (1934), she stands out among others, such as Jane Withers in grade 3B. She really brings the old classroom to life in that dismal rainy day scene.
She really knows how to play a tortured victim of the spoiled bully brat in "These Three," one of several tortured victims of that little spoiled bully brat. And she knows how to play the handicapped child nurtured by the ever-caring S Temple.
As an adult, she's able to branch out from her poor little red-headed child roles even though it's hard to place her in some of those series episodes.
She does appear with short brunette hair as the office secretary in "Meet the Family" as Candy (1954) (TV Pilot, starring Arthur Lake and his real-life family, along with Hans Conreid). When you see her listed in the credits, you wonder where her character appears in the show unless you go back and re-watch, to recognize Miss Jones' lovely face upon her svelte grown-up figure, and again her brunette coiffure.

I don't believe I recall ever noticing (by which I mean recognizing) her in any of her adulthood rolls.
On wonderful Turner Classic Movies (my favourite t.v./cable channel of all times), they still now and then, when a MMJ movie is coming up within a day or two, broadcast a charming mini-interview (just 3 or so minutes in duration) with her from I think around 20 years ago. In it she delightfully shares some girlhood reminiscences about being in this or that film. Throughout the last several years, whenever that little interview comes on, I've always enjoyed re-watching it.
I hadn't realized, til sometime during the last few years, that Marcia Mae died way back in 2007. The little TCM interview of years back had left me with the impression, during most of the last ten years, that she was all along still alive.
