CAREN MARSH DOLL – 101

Caren Marsh-Doll started her career as a radio actress and professional dancer back in 1937, just shortly after she finished high school, according to IMDB. Her parents wanted her to finish college, but her dreams pursue to be a dancer. When she learned that there would be an audition at MGM for dancers, she tried her luck and portrayed Eleanor Powell’s Rosalie in 1937. After this breakthrough, it led to more pictures.

Afterward, she became Judy Garland’s double in movies The Wizard of Oz and Ziegfeld Girl. It was a stepping stone to her career, even though she didn’t receive any credit for the first two. Later on, she appeared in more films like Wild Harvest, Best Foot Forward, and Night and Day. She is now over a hundred years old, is one of the surviving cast members of The Wizard of Oz, and appeared in over twelve motion pictures.
