Career

Marshall's first film appearances were in the 20th Century Fox films Gentleman's Agreement and Daisy Kenyon in 1947 (although they were both uncredited). She went on to play roles (many minor) in over 25 more films until 1967.[1]

Marshall had a small but significant role in I Was a Male War Bride (1949) as the best friend of Ann Sheridan's leading character. She was featured prominently in three Martin and Lewis comedy films, The Stooge, Sailor Beware and That's My Boy, with stars Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Among her television appearances, she guest starred twice on Perry Mason in 1959. She played murderer Irene Bedford in "The Case of the Shattered Dream," and title character Ginny Hobart in "The Case of the Spurious Sister".

Personal life

A 1950 Associated Press news brief reported that Marshall planned to marry director Howard Hawks on February 26, 1950.[2]

She married three times, her first husband being the cameraman Allen Davey. Her second husband (from May 20, 1952,[3] until 1959) was director Stanley Donen, with whom she had two sons, Peter and Joshua.

On July 21, 1963, in New York City, she married actor Robert Wagner,[4] with whom she had one child, television presenter Katie Wagner, before they divorced in 1971.

Marshall died on September 24, 2018, at the age of 89.[5] Her family did not issue a press release when she died, although Robert Wagner's stepdaughter shared the news on her Instagram.
