My Take
What strikes me about Marilyn Maxwell is not her filmography but her courage. A girl from Clarinda, Iowa, who went on to entertain frontline troops with Bob Hope through two wars, carried a kind of generosity that pure stardom rarely demands. I find that more admirable than any leading role. She had the glamour of a Hollywood singer-actress, yet chose to spend it lifting the spirits of soldiers far from home. Her death at fifty feels far too early, but I think the warmth she gave away outlasts the films. To me she is a performer worth remembering for heart.
