Trudy Marshall Biography |
||
|
Marshall was born Gertrude Marshall[1] in Brooklyn, New York. A popular magazine cigarette girl during her modeling days for Harry Conover, she was at different times "The Old Gold Girl," "The Chesterfield Girl", and "The Lucky Strike Girl".
Marshall was signed by 20th Century-Fox in 1942 and groomed in bit parts. Her best known featured role was in the World War II war drama The Sullivans, the true story of a family that lost all five enlisted sons in the sinking of the USS Juneau off Guadalcanal in November 1942. Marshall played a surviving sister who joins the Navy after her brothers` death. Taking roles as a decorative ingenue for a time, Marshall later played the "other woman" in a few features. Semi-retired by the 1960s, she returned very infrequently to Hollywood. One of those times was in a brief role in the movie Once Is Not Enough (1975) which launched the film career of her daughter Deborah, who, like her mother, started off as a model. Marshall was the hostess of her own radio and TV show in the 1980s in which she interviewed stars who attended special Hollywood events. |
