Marian Marsh (1913–2006)

Personal Quote:

[on her "Svengali" co-star John Barrymore] He was really rather shy. Sometimes, after he would play a scene, everybody would applaud, and he would back into the wall! Always he was so helpful and so inspiring to me, and when you're with the greatest, you have to try to come up to his level. He knew he was doing that... he did it many times before.

Trivia:

In her character's famous pre-Code nude modeling scene from "Svengali" Marsh wore a body stocking, and in the scene where she runs out of the room, a body double was used. See more »
