BEFORE THEY WERE SCREAM QUEENS: MARLA ENGLISH

Like so many other women who became actresses, the lovely Marla English was first a model. She signed with Paramount where she received modest success and at one time was paid well. However, her flame burned out pretty quickly and she resorted to playing in B-movies, including THE SHE CREATURE (1956) and VOODOO WOMAN (1957), after which she married and retired from Hollywood at the ripe old age of 25.

This pictorial of a 20-year-old Marla English is from MEN (May 1955), published by Martin Goodman.

BEFORE THEY WERE SCREAM QUEENS: MARLA ENGLISH

THE SHE CREATURE had barely been released (August, 1956) when its dreamy star, Marla English appeared in this issue of NUGGET (October, 1956).

NOTE: Sorry for the low-rez scans, but I think you get the idea!

OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHE CREATURE!

Although she only starred in a handful of B-movies in the 1950's, Marleine Gaile English (January 4, 1935 – December 10, 2012) made her mark as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood at the time. Making just two genre films, THE SHE CREATURE (1956) and VOODOO WOMAN (1957), she married and retired after the latter at the age of only 21!

Also active in a modeling career, here she is a a pictorial in the men's adventure magazine, BATTLE CRY (April, 1957), complete with insipid captions.
