Cousin of Chris Crosby and Cathy Crosby Half-sister of Gary Crosby, Lindsay Crosby, Phillip Crosby and Dennis Crosby Niece of Bob Crosby Member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, Theta Zeta chapter at the University of Texas at Austin. She made cult TV history enacting the role of Kristin Shepard (Sue Ellen Ewing's scheming sister) on the TV series "Dallas" (1978). Her character was one of several suspects in the 1980 cliffhanger ending. Shot by an unknown assailant, viewers had to wait the entire summer (and most of the fall due to a Hollywood actors' strike) to learn who J.R.'s assailant was. During the summer, the question, "Who shot J.R.?", was part of water cooler conversations around the world. Ultimately, Crosby's character was revealed as the culprit in the classic "Who Done It?" episode that aired on November 21, 1980. It was one of the highest-rated episodes of a TV show ever aired. Crosby's character later crossed over to the TV series "Knots Landing" (1979), and then returned to "Dallas" in 1981, where she was eventually found drowned in the Southfork Ranch swimming pool. Acting since her teens, she made her first professional appearances in the company of her siblings in her father's popular Christmas-season TV specials of the 1960s and 1970s. Her father once appeared on a Barbara Walters program threatening to disown Mary if she ever lived with a man before marrying him. He died in October 1977 and Mary went on live with her first husband, Eb Lottimer before they married in November of 1978. Got her Actor's Equity card at the age of four.
