- Her voice was a high, light and sweet soprano - not big or great, but charming, true and technically assured.
- She grew up in protected circumstances but with the October revolution her family had to flee to Japan, two years they went to Berlin.
- She started drinking heavily, which affected her ability to perform. Domestically and professionally, Mary declined rapidly. Richard Tauber detested alcohol, and the nature of the relationship changed. When he married the non-singing British actress Diana Napier in 1936, Mary was devastated and began drinking even more heavily.
- She also bought a farm in Ireland, which was run by her son Dimitri and which she occasionally visited. She tried to bring her mother, brother and sister to Ireland and to England, but failed; she never saw her family again.
- Although she bore an illegitimate son she followed resolute her goal to stay on stage. She took lesson by Bertha Niklal-Kempner and sent her son to a boarding school.
- Mary's last major role was in the South African production of Tauber's Land of Smiles in 1939, but during this tour she was replaced by her understudy Jose Malone.
- Because of her huge popularity as a singer she also came in contact with the film business.
- The last documented appearances by her were at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens in 1950.
- Her career died away unnoticed and she retired from the public life.
- When Richard Tauber had to left Germany because of his Jewish roots she followed him to Vienna and afterwards to London. There came her last movie into being with "The Sky's the Limit" (1938) in the role of Mme. Isobella, but she wasn't able to go on from her earliest success and she drank more often alcohol.
- After Richard Tauber died, her financial circumstances became desperate for a while, but she found a new partner by the name of Charles Holt, and when that relationship ended, lived with a Willy Bolt in Exmouth. By 1955, she was back in London, living in Acton and then Ealing. (There is no evidence that she lived at any time in Soho, sharing a room with a laborer who used the room by day which she used by night, as Diana Napier Tauber claimed.) In 1959, she met Vassia Myronovsky and moved into his house in the Hammersmith district of London, where she stayed until her death of cancer of the lung in July 1972.
- Together with Richard Tauber she appeared in the early talky "Das Land des Lächelns" (30), where she impersonated the role of Liesa.
- Losseff's early life was comfortable. Her father owned a factory and the family were relatively well off.
- Mary took part in some London productions, but never quite hit it off with British audiences.
- She made her debut at Rudolf Nelson's Review in 1929, singing 'Peter, Peter'. This period is described by her then-lover, the pianist and composer Peter Kreuder, in his book Nur Puppen habe keine Tränen. Tauber was in the audience at the Nelson Review and fell in love with Mary, and her voice, at first sight; he felt that she was the singer for whom he had long been searching to star in his planned operetta Der singende Traum. Initially through his influence, she secured major roles in several productions, including Paul Abraham's Viktoria und ihr Husar, Karl Millöcker's Die Dubarry, Jaromír Weinberger's Frühlingsstürme, Franz Lehár's Paganini, Abraham's Ball im Savoy, Emmerich Kálmán's Gräfin Maritza and of course Der singende Traum. She received critical acclaim, indicating that Tauber's faith was justified. At this time, Mary and Richard were considered a couple, and were expected to marry.
- Mary married the actor Brian Buchel in 1938 but the marriage did not succeed, and they separated long before divorce was granted in 1947. She moved to Exmouth in 1943, without Brian, then back to London to a flat in Queensway, Bayswater, in 1944 and remained there on and off until 1948, the year of Richard Tauber's death.
- She had her first success with a Nelson revue in 1929. There she was spotted by Richard Tauber and they fell in love. In the next years Mary Losseff took part in several big stage productions like "Viktoria und ihr Husar" , "Die Dubarry", "Paganini" and "Gräfin Mariza".
- Richard Tauber was astonishingly loyal to her until his death. Many of his 60-odd letters repeat the same refrain: 'I wish that everything could have been different'. He also carried on giving Mary a weekly allowance and sending her additional money through the post whenever he could. Despite Richard's never-wavering constancy and repeated attempts to persuade her to stop drinking, Mary virtually disappeared from public performance, barring the occasional concert fixed up by friends.
- The singer and actress Mary Losseff had her most important triumphs as a singer, to these successes belong her duets with tenor Richard Tauber, among others "Sagen dir nicht meine Augen" and "Singt mir ein Liebeslied" from the operetta "Der singende Traum".
- She took lessons from Bertha Niklas-Kempner and sent Dimitri - her illegitimate child - to boarding school from the age of three for the whole of his childhood.
- She was cremated in Sutton, Surrey, where her ashes are interred.
- Mara Loseff possessed a loving, homely quality until her old age, although her alcoholism gave rise to a gross instability of character. She remained in touch with her son, although he never forgave her for withholding information about his father. She was extremely moved when her grandchildren were born. Her constant drinking and difficult behavior became too much for Vassia Myronovsky in the end and their relationship deteriorated; during her terminal illness, she was tended by her daughter-in-law.
