Biography
Introduction
Joan Marion (28 September 1908 – 5 November 2001) was an Australian-born stage, film and television actress. Her family moved to Britain when she was three, and at eighteen she attended RADA, where she adopted the name Joan Marion. Subsequently a busy stage star, she made the record books in 1934, when she appeared in two West End shows simultaneously, Men in White with Ralph Richardson and Without Witness. She also famously turned down Jack Warner and a Hollywood career, describing him as "a horrid little man." Marion continued in the theatre and British films until her marriage to wine expert Louis Everette de Rouet. With the birth of her daughter she spent many years travelling the world with her family.
