Marjorie Woodworth

Marjorie Woodworth was a pretty, perky blonde 1940s starlet, of German/Norwegian parentage. She was educated at the University of Southern California, where she was spotted and signed by a talent scout for Hal Roach. Immediately propelled into leading roles, her shortcomings as an actress (in the absence of proper training) were quickly revealed, although she acquitted herself well in the farce Broadway Limited (1941). She remained with Roach until 1943, but strictly in supporting roles. She retired in 1947.
