1 | [on the importance of women maintaining a clean reputation in Hollywood] I think that every film star has a tremendous responsibility to the public. We owe them dignity and decorum. If a girl wants to act like a burlesque stripper, then she should be in burlesque and not in movies. |
2 | Basically I'm a career girl. I want to prove myself as an actress. Maybe I won't . . . But I'll have to search until I do. I'll do it--or die trying. I've got lots to learn about pictures . . . I've worked hard. When I know I haven't given my best to a scene, I suffer. |

1 | Appeared once in a bubble bath commercial ad for Kodak that appeared in The Hollywood Reporter. A Paramount Pictures exec caught it and signed her to a film contract. She stayed with the studio for over a year but never did better than extra and bit parts. |
2 | An excellent swimmer, she won a number of swimming prizes. She later modeled bathing suits in Southern California and then professionally in New York through the Conover Agency. |
3 | Battled cancer for over seven years. Was cremated and her ashes scattered at sea. |
4 | Had a passion for animals. Her two Afghans and Chihuahua were all female. She was on location for the film Black Horse Canyon (1954) when she fell in love with a female baby burro(!) -- and took it home. |
5 | First husband, Reese Taylor Jr., was an L.A. lawyer whose first wife had given him four sons. When Mari announced she was pregnant in April 1960, two months into the marriage, he left her because he didn't want any more children. Mari lost the baby later that year. |
6 | Mari's name, along with those of June Allyson, Anita Ekberg and Zsa Zsa Gabor, were found in a "little brown book" kept by handsome, infamous gangster Johnny Stompanato, who was stabbed to death by Lana Turner's daughter, Cheryl Crane. |
7 | Beautiful, worldly-looking American actress of 1950s Easterns and Westerns who typically played alluring harem girls and saloon dancers in "B" films. |
8 | Mari's beautiful blue-eyed brunet (later blonde) looks and 36-25-36 figure became the inspiration for cartoonist Al Capp in creating his voluptuous character "Stupefyin' Jones" for the popular "L'il Abner" comic strip series. |
9 | At age 17 she ran away from home to join the Cole Brothers Circus and learned how to ride elephants, perform bareback on horses and fly on the trapeze bar. Her mother found her and took her back home. |
10 | Her father worked in the oil and mining business. |
11 | One of the few actresses who diligently answered all her own fan mail. |
12 | She suffered from severe polio at age nine and it took three years before she was able to walk again. According to Brad Richards' full-length article on Mari in the Spring 2013 issue of Films of the Golden Age, she credits the courage and obstinacy of her mother, a psychotherapist, for pulling her through. Her mother did not permit braces or injections but used Hawaiian massages and three-times-a-day hot water soakings. Mari claims that her first year was spent in a wheelchair and progressed to crutches in the second. By the third year she was back in school and had no ill effects whatsoever. |
