The winner of a Chicago Tribune "Perfect Blind Date" contest, blonde Marie Harmon obtained a contract with Universal, who then wasted her in supporting roles in such fare as Hers to Hold (1943) and the All-Girl Ladies Courageous (1944). She was rather better served by Poverty Row company Monogram, for whom she appeared opposite singing cowboy Jimmy Wakeley, and Republic Pictures, who put her under contract in 1946. More B-Westerns followed but Harmon retired in 1951 to marry. She is the mother of actress Cherie Currie and the mother-in-law of actor Robert Hays.
