Upon graduation from high school, Marsha, bored with nothing to do, became a photographer's model. At the seme time, she enterud the Dora Irvine School of Drama, arranging her modelling schedule so that it .vouldn't interfere with classes.
When the school closed for the summer Marsha, who plr.nned to go to
London to enter the Royal Academy of the Theatre, decided to visit an uncle in Los Angeles, before making the trip. It was on this visit that she was "spotted" by Paramount executives and signed to a contract.
