The Goose Woman is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Clarence Brown and starring Louise Dresser with Jack Pickford as her son.

[1] As described in a film magazine reviews,[2] opera singer Mary Holmes loses her voice as a result of giving birth to a boy, and develops an intense dislike of her offspring.

Her son wins the love of Hazel Woods, a young actress, who repulsed the vicious advances of a millionaire theatre-owner.

The district attorney furnishes her with fine clothes, reveals her identity as a former stage star, and she is the sensation of the day.

[citation needed] The Goose Woman was remade in 1933 as The Past of Mary Holmes featuring Helen MacKellar and Jean Arthur.
