CONNIE MARSHALLA child film star of the Golden age of Hollywood who started her career as a child model. She was the little girl who modelled for Norman Rockwell in the famous painting called "The Meeting".She went into pictures in 1944 in "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier "with Anne Baxter and John Hodiak. This was followed with "Dragonwyck", "Sentimental Journey", "Mother Wore Tights" and many more pictures and television and radio shows.She appeared with some of the greatest stars of the era. She has her own site at www.conniemarshall.n etShe vanished from sight after making her last radio show in 1956. She had in fact contracted polio whilst pregnant with her first child. Nothing more was heard about Connie until I tracked her family down recently. She married and had four children. Hollywood abandoned her after they knew she was ill and had outgrown her usefulness as a child star.She continued helping out in her local theatre with nobody knowing that in the past she had acted with Vincent Price, Betty Grable, Dan Dailey, Robert Taylor, Natalie Wood and other great names.Connie passed away at her family home in Santa Rosa, California in 2001. Her death was not reported until 2007 in a local paper. She certainly deserves a star for effort and hard work.Gone but not forgotten.
