Actress. A pretty blonde, she is remembered for her numerous film and television appearances over a career of more than 40 years. An Arkansas native, she held a variety of jobs after moving to Southern California including a gig as receptionist for alleged mobster Bugsy Siegel and studied briefly at the University of Chicago; signed by 20th Century Fox, she was loaned out to Goldwyn for her 1946 silver screen bow in "The Kid From Brooklyn". Marjorie was seen in "Linda Be Good" (1947) and 1949's "Rimfire" and was working in regional theater prior to her first starring role in 1949's "The Blazing Trail". In the early 1950s she became a regular small screen presence, her long list of credits over the years including "Fireside Theatre", "Cheyenne", "I Led 3 Lives", "Dragnet", "Highway Patrol", "Tales of the Texas Rangers", "Surfside 6", "My Three Sons", and "77 Sunset Strip". Continuing her cinematic career, she was seen in such mostly forgettable flicks as 1954's "The Far Country", the 1955 "Cell 2455 Death Row", 1956's "Indestructible Man", "The Monster That Challenged the World", "Daughter of Dr. Jekyll", and "Kronos" (all 1957), and 1961's "Battle of the Bloody Beach". Marjorie left the screen with a 1969 episode of "The Brady Bunch", returned in the 1987 television movie "Roses Are for the Rich", and in 1991 earned her final credit on "Colombo". Later in 1991 she met actor Robert Browne while performing on Broadway in "The Subject Was Roses", married him, and moved to North Carolina, though she later returned to Southern California where she lived out her days. At her demise from the effects of advanced age, a few of her performance were preserved on CD.
