玛丽·玛格丽特·伍德 （Mary Margaret Wood） 是美国舞台、电影和电视女演员。她最令人难忘的是她在 CBS 电视连续剧《妈妈》中作为主角的表演，并因此获得了黄金时段艾美奖剧情类剧集杰出女主角奖提名;她在《露丝的故事》中饰演露丝的岳母娜奥米;以及她在《音乐之声》中饰演修道院院长的最后一次银幕亮相，并因此获得了奥斯卡金像奖和金球奖的提名。

伍德在法国师从传奇女高音艾玛·卡尔夫（Emma Calve）学习声乐，艾玛·卡尔夫是20世纪上半叶卡门角色的最伟大代表。回到美国后，伍德是演员权益协会的早期成员，在舞台上度过了近 50 年，从合唱团开始，成为百老汇歌手和明星。她于 1910 年首次登台，作为顽皮玛丽埃塔合唱团的一员。1917年，她出演了《五月时光》，其中她介绍了歌曲《你会记得吗》。在1928年的《威尼斯商人》中扮演波西亚一角之前，她还出演了其他几部音乐剧。从 1920 年代末到 1930 年代末，伍德在伦敦和纽约上演的音乐剧中担任主角。她被诺埃尔·科沃德（Noel Coward）选中，出演了他大获成功的轻歌剧《苦甜》（BITTER SWEET）的伦敦原创作品。

1941年，她出演了《Blithe Spirit》的纽约首映式。伍德没有出演很多电影。她为数不多的电影演出包括《Jalna》、《A Star is Born》、《Call It a Day》、《The Housekeeper's Daughter》、《The Bride Wore Boots》、《Magnificent Doll》和《Dream Girl》中的角色。从1949年到1957年，她在热门电视剧《妈妈》中饰演女族长玛塔·汉森。她与喜剧演员伊莫金·古柯（Imogene Coca）在百老汇共同主演了《509年的女孩》。1963年10月，她和露丝·盖茨（Ruth Gates）出演了一部独幕剧《开幕之夜》，该剧在非百老汇上演。伍德饰演范妮·埃利斯（Fanny Ellis），一位曾经为表演做准备的著名明星;该剧共演出47场。露丝·盖茨（Ruth Gates）是与伍德（Wood）合作的“妈妈”系列中的珍妮阿姨。

她在 1960 年的 CinemaScope 制作的《露丝的故事》中重返电影界，担任联合主演，她在自己的书中称其为“金发碧眼的犹太人”。

她最后一次出现在银幕上是在《音乐之声》中饰演温柔、睿智的修道院院长，并因此获得奥斯卡最佳女配角奖和金球奖最佳女配角奖提名。她很高兴能出演这部电影，尽管她知道自己不能再唱“Climb Ev'ry Mountain”了。她被玛格丽·麦凯（Margery McKay）配音（唱歌）。在她的自传中，在电影中饰演索菲亚修女的玛妮·尼克松说，佩吉特别喜欢麦凯的歌声，因为她听起来像佩吉年轻时的样子。

1969 年，伍德加入了 ABC 电视肥皂剧《一生一世》的演员阵容，饰演凯特·诺兰博士，并经常出演角色直到年底。

她的第一本自传《你看起来有多年轻》于 1941 年由 Farrar 和 Rinehart 出版。1963年出版了《艺术与花卉》的更新版。她还写了一本演员小约翰·德鲁（John Drew， Jr.）的传记，以及一本名为《星际旅行车》（The Star Wagon）的小说，并且是一部名为《奎斯小姐》（Miss Quis）的戏剧的合著者。

伍德因其戏剧作品而获得无数奖项，并曾一度担任美国国家剧院和学院的院长。

Mary Margaret Wood was an American actress of stage, film, and television. She is best remembered for her performance as the title character in the CBS television series Mama, for which she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series; her starring role as Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, in The Story of Ruth; and her final screen appearance as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

Wood studied voice in France with the legendary soprano Emma Calve - the greatest exponent of the role of CARMEN in the first half of the 20th century. Upon returning to the U.S., Wood was an early member of the Actors' Equity Association, spending nearly 50 years on the stage, beginning in the chorus and becoming known as a Broadway singer and star. She made her stage debut in 1910, as part of the chorus for Naughty Marietta. In 1917, she starred in Maytime, in which she introduced the song "Will You Remember". She starred in several other musicals before playing the role of Portia in a 1928 production of The Merchant of Venice. From the late 1920s until the late 1930s, Wood had lead roles in musicals staged in London and New York. She was chosen by Noel Coward to star in the original London production of his wildly successful operetta BITTER SWEET.

In 1941, she starred in the New York premiere of Blithe Spirit. Wood did not star in many films. Her few film appearances include roles in Jalna, A Star is Born, Call It a Day, The Housekeeper's Daughter, The Bride Wore Boots, Magnificent Doll, and Dream Girl. From 1949 to 1957, she played matriarch Marta Hansen in the popularTV series Mama. She co-starred with comedian Imogene Coca on Broadway in The Girls in 509. In October 1963, she and Ruth Gates appeared in a one-act play, Opening Night, which played in off-Broadway. Wood portrayed Fanny Ellis, a once famous star who prepares for a performance; the play lasted 47 performances. Ruth Gates was Aunt Jenny on the "Mama" series with Wood.

She returned to movies in the 1960 CinemaScope production The Story of Ruth in a co-starring role, as what she referred to in her own book as a "blonde, blue-eyed Jewess".

Her final screen appearance was as the gentle, wise Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture. She was thrilled to be in the movie although she knew that she could no longer sing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain". She was dubbed (for singing) by Margery McKay. In her autobiography, Marni Nixon, who appeared in the film as Sister Sophia, said Peggy especially liked McKay's singing voice because she sounded as Peggy did in her younger days.

In 1969, Wood joined the cast of the ABC-TV soap, One Life to Live as Dr. Kate Nolan and had a recurring role until the end of the year.

Her first autobiography, How Young You Look, was published by Farrar and Rinehart in 1941. An update, Arts and Flowers, appeared in 1963. She also wrote a biography of actor John Drew, Jr., as well as a novel called The Star Wagon and was a co-author of a play called Miss Quis.

Wood received numerous awards for her theatrical work and for a while was president of the American National Theater and Academy.
