Lois Hardwick was a child actress of the 1920s. She was chosen as the fourth actress to play "Alice" in the "Alice Comedies" film short series by Walt Disney. The previous three were Virginia Davis, Margie Gay, and Dawn O'Day (later changed her stage name to "Anne Shirley").

Hardwick starred in 10 "Alice Comedies" films in 1927, but 6 of them are considered lost films. Her debut in the series was "Alice's Circus Daze" (1927)., where she played a circus acrobat. Her final appearance in the series was "Alice in the Big League" (1927), where she played the umpire in a baseball game. The Alice series ended after that, since producer Walt Disney was in financial trouble.

Hardwick was next cast to play the character "Mary Jane" in the "Buster Brown" film series (1925-1929). The series was an adaptation of a popular comic strip and Hardwick's "Mary Jane" was the young protagonist's love interest. After the series ended in 1929, Hardwick retired from acting.

In 1959, Hardwick married fellow actor Donald Sutherland. In 1966, the marriage ended in divorce. They had no known children. She died two years later.

There are some conflicting fact surrounding Lois Marriage to [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000661/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk2 '''Donald Sutherland''']

It is not clear which Lois - Lois "'''Ann'''" or Lois "'''May'''" Hardwick, is the so-called 1st wife.

This [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0362552/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm '''Lois Hardwick'''] is The Child Actress.

When you google Lois "'''May'''" - you get Lois "'''Ann'''" instead.

On most of all of Lois "'''Ann'''" bios online, They have her married to Donald. Yet!, on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Sutherland# '''Donald's Wikipedia''' (en)] it claims Lois "'''May'''" is the 1st Wife, and not Lois "'''Ann'''" (child actress). As well as Donald's Obituaries.

So who really is the 1st - Wife.
