Mona Ray (January 17, 1905 – July 3, 1986)[1] was an American stage and screen actress from the late 1920s to the early 1940s.
Her most famous role was an appearance in black face as the mischievous slave Topsy in the 1927 silent film Uncle Tom's Cabin.
During the 1930s, she starred in a number of musical/comedy films; she also appeared as Mammy Yokum in the 1940 version of Li'l Abner.
He alleged that she had spent an evening with her brother-in-law, Josef Montiague (husband of her sister, actress Judy King) in only a "tightly clad sweater".
Differences must have been resolved, however, as Ray remained with Cummings until his death of a heart attack in April, 1953 at the age of 69.
