}}May Blossom Boley[1] (May 29, 1881 - January 7, 1963) was an American actress known for her role as Whale Oil Rosie in Moby Dick (1930).[2]

Stage

Besides being an actress, Boley was a dancer. An article in an 1898 issue of a newspaper commented on "the grace with which she accomplished a difficult solo dance".[3] In 1900, she was a member of the Alice Nielsen Opera Company.[4] Her last stage appearance in New York was in the musical Jubilee.[5] As a singer in the musical Hit the Deck (1927), Boley introduced the popular song "Hallelujah".[6]
