Marie Wilson

**berigan** · July 1st, 2009, 12:52 AM

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933810/
Born: Katherine Elizabeth Wilson on August 19, 1916 in Anaheim, California, USA
Died: November 23, 1972 (age 56) in Hollywood, California, USA

In films since 1934, it took her awhile to catch on it seems. From what I have read of the Ken Murray's "Blackout" shows in the 40's in L.A., its a crying shame they weren't filmed!

A slow mo /looped clip of her in the 1952 film, A Girl in Every Port.

Man, thought I had put up some pictures before...
What an interesting career! When she was young, she seemed to just play dumb blondes with not much sex appeal...then , in her late 28's, into her 30's then she was a dumb blonde with real sex appeal!

A bit of info on the Ken Murray blackouts, she starred in, in the 40's
After a few topical jokes of the day, he would "warn" us that he was about to introduce Marie Wilson, who would come out wearing a very low-cut strapless evening gown. And if she decides to take a bow, we were admonished, the first four rows of the theater would be immediately evacuated.

He'd then beckon to her, and she'd prance out with a provocative jiggle that made the top of her gown appear to be in imminent danger of losing its grip. Before she could say anything, he'd tell to go back and come out again. His eyes would then be fixed on the top of her dress as she again bounced her way toward centerstage.

"One more time," he insisted, but she shook her head. "Darn!" he said as he turned back the audience, "one more time and I'm sure we'd have had it!"

When asked what was new, Marie would say that she'd been reading a study about the advantages of using mothers' milk over bottled milk. Cute Containers When prompted to tell what the advantages were, she'd reply, "Well, it doesn't need refrigerating — the cats can't get at it — and, best of all, it comes in such cute containers."
