Mary Louise Cecilia "Texas" Guinan was a famed American actress, producer, and entrepreneur. Starting her career in silent films, she became known as the "Queen of the Wests" for her roles in early Westerns. During the Prohibition era, she achieved legendary status as a New York City nightclub hostess, famously greeting patrons with her catchphrase, "Hello, Sucker!". Guinan's speakeasies and exuberant personality made her a symbol of the Roaring Twenties' rebellious and hedonistic spirit.
