Mimi Marquis

Mimi was born in Rangoon, Burma (now known as Yangon, Myanmar). She is the oldest of 3. Her family moved to Bangkok, Thailand when she was 7 years old. She and her siblings learned to speak English while attending a British School. The family moved from Bangkok to North Carolina where she continued high school, then to Delaware. Mimi moved to Alexandria, Virginia and started in a career in the travel industry. After living there for nearly 3 decades, she and her husband moved to Wilmington, NC to get away from the hustle and bustle, and to be close to the ocean. Mimi started as an extra on Reprisal to take her mind off the stress of Hurricane Florence, when her husband suffered a heart attack and was in the hospital for a month. Working in a totally different industry helped with the PTSD, and she found she really enjoyed doing this. Her biggest thrill has been to be a featured extra on Halloween Kills (2020) where she rubbed elbows with Mike Myers (The Shape); and to be a stand in on Hightown.
