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.[2]

Marshall had a small but significant role in his I Was a Male War Bride (1949). 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".[3]

Personal life

A 1950 Associated Press news brief reported that Marshall planned to marry director Howard Hawks on February 26, 1950.[4]

She married three times, her first husband being the cameraman Allen Davey. Her second husband (from May 20, 1952,[5] until 1959) was director Stanley Donen, with whom she had two sons, Peter (born December 20, 1953) and Joshua (born August 10, 1955).[3]

On July 21, 1963, in New York City, she married actor Robert Wagner,[6] with whom she had one child, television presenter Katie Wagner, before they divorced in 1971.[3]

According to the Natalie Wood official instagram account, which is owned and operated by Wood's daughter Natasha, Marion Marshall died on September 24, 2018 at the age of 89.[7]
