Caren Marsh Doll – 1919

Caren Marsh Doll specialized in contemporary dance and tap. She is most known for Judy Garland’s stand-in in The Wizard of Oz and the Ziegfeld Girl in 1941. She is one of the last remaining actors from Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Doll decided to pursue acting after graduating from high school in 1937. Despite her parents’ opposition, who wanted her to pursue a college degree, she spoke in front of MGM for Rosalie. She got rejected but had The Wizard of Oz as her project. Because there were so many individuals named “Morris,” she changed her name to Marsh in 1937. She worked with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on films from 1937 until 1948, including a brief uncredited role in Gone with the Wind.
