Rosemary DeCamp Rosemary DeCamp Rosemary DeCamp

 


Rosemary DeCamp was born November 14, 1910. Her soft, beautiful looks won her a host of roles that spanned a rich television and movie career. At differing times in her life, Rosemary could play the seductive leading lady or the sweet, innocent sister.And she made a graceful transformation to the gentle "momma"-type as she portrayed for Helen Marie, Ann's mother in "That Girl". She managed to allow her TV husband, Lew Parker (as Lou Marie) to take center stage to her "straight-man", while still coming off as a strong presence. She had a short run in the sitcom, "Petticoat Junction" as Aunt Helen when Bea Benaderet (Kate) was too ill to appear, and she went on to play the part of Shirley Partridge's mother in "The Partridge Family in the 70's. She also appeared in the remake of "The Time Machine". She currently lives in California and is doing well.
