Mara Corday (born Marilyn Joan Watts on January 3, 1930) is a showgirl, model, actress, Playboy Playmate and a 1950s cult figure.
Corday was born in Santa Monica, California. Wanting a career in films, she came to Hollywood while still in her teens and found work as a showgirl at the Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset Boulevard. Her physical beauty brought jobs as a photographer's model that led to a bit part as a showgirl in the 1951 film Two Tickets to Broadway. She signed on as a Universal International Pictures (UI) contract player where she met actor Clint Eastwood with whom she would remain lifelong friends. With UI, Corday was given small roles in various B-movies and television series. In 1954 on the set of Playgirl she met actor Richard Long. Following the death of Long's wife, the two began dating and married in 1957.

Jeeze. I don't know how you guys are getting them so fast. I was sure that one would last a few hours at least.
You're right John. Do you remember what year she died ? I know she was still fairly young.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Gday...
I have puddled all over Mr Google - and have found many sites that record her life and achievements. However, not one says when she died.
It says at the bottom - She remained married to Richard Long for a tumultuous 18 years - until widowed in 1974; then appeared some years later in a few Clint Eastwood films, and now devotes most of her time to writing and project development.
I have no idea when the page was written/posted on the internet
So she must have lived to at least probably 50 perhaps

Wow!!! My memory must really be going. I "remember" that she had a bad fall in a studio one day, then a short while later developed Cancer, and died in her early 30's.
Wonder where that came from.
I do know that the Corday name was being used on Productions years after her "Death", so maybe I did dream it.
Cheers,
Sheba.

I'll follow your lady with another lady. Who is this lady?
When I was a liddle kid - probably only about 10 or so and living in Maryborough QLD - like so many families we went to the pictures on Saturday nights.
The very first time I saw her in a picture, can't remember which one, I was completely smitten. Even today, when I see a movie from those days with her in, I wilt and remember how much I was in love. Fools grow older but never wiser
The lady is Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff - but I guess she is best known as Doris Day.
Cheers - John

She is still a beautiful woman, isn't she? My favourite movie was Calamity Jane - though I loved all her movies.
