Timeline

1947

The marriage fell apart, however, and the couple divorced in 1947. Instead of returning after her divorce, Marjorie withdrew from the limelight completely.

1943

Daughter Judith Ann Donlevy was born on February 20, 1943.

1941

She and husband Brian Donlevy were witnesses to the Las Vegas elopement of William Holden and Brenda Marshall on July 12, 1941.

1939

Donlevy's cinematic career on the rise during this time, with superior work in Beau Geste (1939) (Oscar nomination), The Great McGinty (1940), The Glass Key (1942) and Wake Island (1942). As a result, Marjorie's career quickly took a back seat.

1938

Marjorie continued her behind-the-camera singing career by once again giving good voice to Eleanor Powell in the films Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937), covering the songs "Yours and Mine," "I'm Feelin' Like a Million" and "Follow in My Footsteps," and Rosalie (1937), with "I've Got a Strange New Rhythm in My Heart".

1936

However, once she provided the singing voice for dancing legend Eleanor Powell in Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935) on the songs "You Are My Lucky Star" and "Sing Before Breakfast," Marjorie found a Marni Nixon-like cushy spot that would provide steady employment for the next few years--even if she was more heard than seen.

The singer followed Powell into her next picture Born to Dance (1936) and dubbed the songs "Easy to Love," "Rap Tap on Wood" and "Hey Babe Hey" for the dancer.

They married at Christmas time in 1936, and settled in Beverly Hills.

1935

In 1935 she recorded "What a Wonderful World" for Tommy Dorsey's outfit. Mayer primarily signed up the pretty hopeful for her voice.

One of her first jobs was to dub the voice of Isabel Jewell in Shadow of Doubt (1935).

Actor Brian Donlevy met Marjorie in 1935 while she was performing at the Trocadero.

1930

Petite, auburn-haired, Kansas-born beauty Marjorie Lane (her real name) is best remembered as the singing voice of dancing icon Eleanor Powell in late 1930s Hollywood, but she actually garnered more personal attention at the time as a popular singing attraction in Los Angeles niteries. While she eventually gave up her modest career to become Mrs. Brian Donlevy and a mother, Marjorie still deserves more than just a footnote in the Hollywood annals.

With no prior vocal training, she arrived in Hollywood with her mother in the mid-1930s and first earned notice at the popular Trocadero Club on Sunset Boulevard. While there she caught the eye of none other than Louis B. Mayer who quickly signed her to an MGM contract. While working for MGM, Marjorie continued her busy schedule of performing studio assignments by day and showing up nightly at the Trocadero.

1913

Not to be confused with the theater performer Marjorie Lane, who began appearing on Broadway in 1913, when this Marjorie was a year old.

1912

Born on February 21, 1912 in Manhattan, Kansas, Marjorie was the daughter of Charles W. Lane, head of a Santa Fe public relations department.
