Mary Sackett - Hollyood pioneer?

[Robert Moulton]

Just finished watching an old You Bet Your Life and a contestant was
introduced as 'Hollywood pioneer Miss Mary Sackett'. She was 78 on the show
and there were constant ads for the 1954 DeSoto (it's DeLovely) so I figure
she was born about 1875. After the introduction they didn't touch on this
subject at all.

I couldn't anything up on Google about her and I'm not even sure I heard her
last name right. Anyone know who she is?

You sure it wasn't Julia Sackett?

Miss Mary Sackett, born in Connecticut, moved to Hollywood in 1888 and was appointed Hollywood's first postmistress.

If you google her name you'll see an article called "The Sacketts of Hollywood" as one of the first listings. She's also shown on IMDB. She was born in 1875 and passed away 93 years later.
