Early lifeMary Murillo was the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Mary Peacock (née Sunter). In 1894, her mother married Edward O'Connor, a Roman Catholic Irish commercial traveller, and she was raised as Mary O'Connor.[2] She was the eldest of four sisters (she also had an elder stepsister, Isabel Peacock, who later appeared in American films as Isabel Daintry). She was educated at St. Monica's in Skipton, Yorkshire, and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart School[3] in Roehampton. She adopted the professional name Mary Murillo after being compared in looks to a Murillo painting of the Madonna. CareerIn 1908 she traveled to America with her stepsister to start a stage career, and in February 1909 made her debut in the chorus of the Broadway musical comedy Havana. She toured the United States, finding only small parts until 1913, when she started sending scenarios to film companies. Her first script to be accepted was bought by the husband-and-wife team of Phillips Smalley and Lois Weber. Other commissions followed, and the first film known to be credited to her is A Strand of Blond Hair (1914), a Vitagraph comedy short starring John Bunny and Flora Finch.[4] She wrote five melodramas for Theda Bara during the 1910s popularity of vamp films. She also wrote for Bara's Fox rival Valeska Suratt. Murillo served as screenwriter for Fox Film from 1916–1917, then joining Norma Talmadge Productions in 1919. She returned to the UK in 1923 to work for Stoll Film Studios. She wrote the script for the hit French sound film Accusée, levez-vous! (1930).[5] In 1936 she formed the company Opticolor to market in Britain a French motion picture colour system, Francita, developed by her husband Maurice Velle, son of French film pioneer Gaston Velle, but the business failed after a disastrous demonstration of the system.[6] She later worked for J. Arthur Rank, 1st Baron Rank's Religious Films Ltd. A selection of films made by Mary Murillo, Maurice Velle and Gaston Velle was featured at Il Cinema Ritrovato film festival in Bologna in June/July 2015.[7] Filmography{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
