Throughout her years in Hollywood, she insisted that her friends and co-workers address her not by her studio-fabricated cognomen, but by her given name of Ardis Anderson Gaines. A Warner Bros. contractee of the early 1940s, Anderson/Marshall did her best work opposite "Errol Flynn" in "The Sea Hawk" (1940) and "Footsteps in the Dark" (1941). From 1941 through 1973, "Brenda Marshall" was married to actor "William Holden", a curious union that evidently soured early on (Holden's friends blamed Marshall, and vice versa), and was distinguished by extended separations and numerous extracurricular romances. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
