Biography

A former New York model, Trudy Marshall came to Hollywood in 1942 when signed to a 20th Century-Fox contract. Few of her roles at Fox were of much consequence; among the actress' more pleasant memories from this period was her ingenue stint in the Laurel and Hardy comedy The Dancing Masters (1943). After her Fox years, Marshall was best represented as shadowy "other women," notably in the 1947 Red Skelton vehicle The Fuller Brush Man. Trudy Marshall is the mother of actress Deborah Raffin. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

She played a featured role was in the World War II war drama The Sullivans (1944), 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. She played a featured role in The Fuller Brush Man (1948).

Semi-retired by the 1960s, she returned very infrequently to Hollywood. She appeared in the movie Once Is Not Enough (1975) which launched the film career of her daughter Deborah Raffin.
