From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Trudy Marshall (February 14, 1922 - May 23, 2004) was a retired movie actress who was in such films as The Sullivans (1944), and The Fuller Brush Man (1948). She was the mother of actress Deborah Raffin. Signed by 20th Century-Fox in 1942 and served as a decorative ingenue for a time. Later grew up to play 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 made a semi-name out of her daughter actress Deborah Raffin, who, like her mother, started off as a model.

A popular magazine cigarette girl during her modeling days for Harry Conover, she was "The Old Gold Girl," "The Chesterfield Girl" and "The Lucky Strike Girl" at different times.

Her film stardom was more or less sabotaged by Fox head Darryl Zanuck as punishment for marrying a man against his expressed wishes. Her career didn't survive but her marriage did.

Signed by Fox Studios and groomed in bit parts, Trudy's best known featured role was in the WWII war drama "The Sullivans," the true story of a family who lost all five enlisted sons in the sinking of the USS Juneau off Guadalcanal in November of 1942. Trudy effectively played a surviving sister who joins the Navy after her brothers' death.

Was the charming hostess of her own radio and TV show in the 80s in which she interviewed stars attended special Hollywood events.
