Marie Eline (February 27, 1902 – January 3, 1981) was an American silent film child actress and sister of Grace Eline.[1] Their mother was an actress.[2]

Eline acted on stage for three years before she acted in films.[2] Nicknamed "The Thanhouser Kid",[3] she began acting for the Thanhouser Company in New Rochelle, New York, at the age of eight and starred in exactly one hundred films between 1910 and 1914.

By August 1915, Eline headed her own vaudeville company, presenting a playlet.[4] In 1929, the Eline sisters formed a specialty act that was featured in an "'all-girl' show" that performed in Atlanta, Georgia.[5] The duo was still performing in 1932.[6]
