Personal Quote:

Show business has been very good to me and I'm not complaining, but some day I just wish someone would offer me a different kind of role. My closest friends admit that whenever they tell someone they know me they have to convince them that I'm really not dumb. To tell you the truth I think people are disappointed that I'm not.

Trivia:

Her parents divorced when she was only seven months old. Her father, Wally Wilson, died when she was five and left her $11,000 in a trust, which she eventually used to pursue her Hollywood career. It was her stepfather, Frank White, who raised Marie. See more »
