Views: 27 | Updated On: | By Anish Jangir
Here is the list of all Marion Davies movies.
Marion Davies was an American actress, producer, and philanthropist, born on January 3, 1897, in Brooklyn, New York. She began her career as a chorus girl on Broadway before transitioning to film in the early 1920s.
Davies was known for her comedic roles and her vivacious personality, and was a popular actress during the silent film era. She starred in numerous films, including "The Patsy" (1928), "Show People" (1928), and "The Cardboard Lover" (1928).
Despite her success as an actress, Davies' career was overshadowed by her relationship with newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, with whom she had a long-term romantic relationship. Hearst was also a powerful media mogul who controlled numerous newspapers and was able to use his influence to promote Davies' career.
Davies' image was also somewhat tarnished by her association with Hearst's extravagant lifestyle, which was parodied in Orson Welles' film "Citizen Kane" (1941). The character of Susan Alexander in the film is widely believed to be based on Davies.
After Hearst's death in 1951, Davies largely retired from the film industry and focused on philanthropic work. She donated generously to various causes, including the arts and education.
Davies died on September 22, 1961, at the age of 64. Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, she is remembered as a talented actress and a generous philanthropist who made significant contributions to the film industry and beyond.
