Margaret "Meg" Mundy (born 4 January 1915)[1] is an English-American actress. She was born in London,[2] but moved to the United States in 1921.

Mundy is the daughter of the Australian opera singer Clytie Hine (1887–1983) who studied at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide, South Australia. Hine married the English cellist and orchestra manager of The Metropolitan Opera, John Mundy, and they emigrated to the United States in 1921 with their two children, John and Margaret. After retiring as a performer, Clytie Hine coached opera singers and musical performers. Meg Mundy's brother was the Columbia University history professor John Hine Mundy (1917-2004).[3][4]

In 1948 she starred in The Respectful Prostitute (see below), but Dorothy Parker professed ignorance: "Meg Mundy? What's that, a Welsh holiday?"[5] She played "Mona Aldrich Croft", on The Doctors from 1971 until 1982, when the show was cancelled.

She lives in upstate New York.[6]

Awards

In 1948, Meg Mundy won the Theatre World Award for her performance in The Respectful Prostitute at Cort Theatre.[2] She was succeeded in the role by actress Ann Dvorak.

In 1982, she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Drama Series at the 9th Daytime Emmy Awards for her role on The Doctors.
