Motion picture roles were among the activities she was known for.

Was she also a singer?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #31 on:** August 06, 2013, 05:54:26 AM »

She was!

related to a 1950s Cadillac ad?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #33 on:** August 06, 2013, 03:15:27 PM »

Not an ad. She was the owner of the Cadillac in question.

Might it be Mamie Van Doren and her Cadillac(s)?

She managed to get her name in print a few times in the 1960's, but her performing career had largely wound down, with the exception of a role in a somewhat notorious movie.

Marie McDonald and her 1953 Cadillac Le Mans - Barris
Built for Harry Karl and his wife actress Marie McDonald from the GM 1953 Motorama experimental Cadillac.

That's it - nicely done!

This was puzzled the other way around (starting with the car), a few years ago...

Interesting - I didn't realize that.

Carnut · « **Reply #44 on:** August 07, 2013, 10:51:54 AM »

According to the information on her in that puzzle she was a singer and was called variously Mary or Marie and then Marie 'The Body' McDonald.

So she was not just a pretty face...!

I think its Virginia Ruth Egnor AKA Dagmar.
If it is the bumper protrusions on the '53 Cadillac were named after her famous chest.

Admittedly I was no where's near with the actress, but I would have thought you would have acknowledged the Cadillac connection , Otto Puzzle?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #47 on:** August 13, 2013, 05:13:30 PM »

Please watch that spelling. Us Puzzell's are quite proud of our heritage.

Es tut mir leid, mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut.
