Mary Neely
Mary Connor Neely (born April 10, 1991) is an American actress, writer, director, and editor. She rose to prominence during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic with a series of self-filmed lip-sync videos reenacting scenes from well-known musicals. She published her videos on Twitter to broad acclaim. Neely has also appeared in MGM's remake of Valley Girl, Netflix's Happiness for Beginners, and 20th Century Studios' Swiped, based on the life of Bumble founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd. Along with 'SubwayTakes' creator Kareem Rahma, Neely co-wrote and co-stars in the independent film Or Something.
Mary Connor Neely was born on April 10, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, to Mark Neely, an actor, and Polly Neely (née Johnson), a commercial producer. Her parents divorced when she was young and she was raised equally between them. Neely is an only child.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Neely has described it as both “really interesting” and “odd”.
"My dad was a taxi driver in LA in the 70s, so growing up he would drive me around, he knew the city like the back of his hand. He would tell me stories from when he was a cab driver and it colored the city for me.”
— Mary Neely, "I-D" (August 2018)
Though both of her parents exited entertainment when Neely was in elementary school, a lot of their friends were “crew people” which led Neely to grow up in the industry but as she described, “it wasn’t glamorous.”
Neely lived in 13 different houses by the time she was 18 years old in the Glendale, Altadena, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Santa Monica, and West LA neighborhoods of Los Angeles. She cites the exposure to so many different kinds of people and places as a catalyst for her interest in performing.
Neely started acting in community theater productions at age eight, saying her love for musicals was akin to a religion.
