Timeline
Her husband, Stanley Lefevre Krebs, was born February 14, 1864 in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
Her father was a minister, and when she joined a local stock company as a youngster she changed her name to avoid embarrassing her family. She worked in vaudeville and debuted on Broadway in 1916.
Her film debut was in A House Divided (1931).
Her husband Stanley died in 1935, but until her death, she often had "conversations" with her late husband, occasionally interrupting a scene in a movie. She would then let the director know it was okay to continue the scene, which she did as if nothing happened. James Whitmore, her co-star in Mrs. O'Malley and Mr. Malone (1950), talked about this in a TCM tribute to Main.
She repeated her stage role in Dead End (1937) as Baby Face Martin (Humphrey Bogart)'s mother, which led to a number of slum mother parts.
She played very strong role of Lucy, the dude ranch operator in The Women (1939).
She achieved popularity as a comedienne in six 1940s movies made with Wallace Beery e. g.
Appeared three times with Judy Garland: "Meet me in St. Louis" (1944), :The Harvey girls" (!946), and Garland's last film for MGM, "Summer stock" (1950).
The character which would dominate her remaining career was established when she played Ma Kettle in The Egg and I (1947), for which she received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress.
She began her co-starring series with Percy Kilbride the following year in Feudin', Fussin' and A-Fightin' (1948) and continued through seven more.
Though her last official professional credit was on two 1958 episodes of "Wagon train," she was one of the guests at the premiere of "That's entertainment!" (1974), appearing on stage with many of her great colleagues at the gala post-premiere party.
Main's career was highlighted in "The Slapstick Queens" by James Robert Parish, published by A. S. Barnes in 1973.
