Marlene Willoughby, born May 17, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan, of Polish and Italian descent, moved to New York in 1961 with her mother and singer sister Jacqueline Carol. A tall (5'10"), slender brunette with Audrey Hepburn-like features, she pursued acting in experimental Off-Off-Broadway theater, starring in controversial plays like 'Che!' (1969), involving nudity and arrests, 'Dracula Sabbat,' and others. Facing financial struggles, she entered the adult film industry in 1975, appearing in over 50 hardcore films through the 1980s, including classics like 'The Opening of Misty Beethoven' (1976), 'The Farmer's Daughters' (1976), 'Outlaw Ladies' (1981), and 'Foxtrot.'
She also featured in softcore and mainstream films such as 'Up the Sandbox' (1972), 'Trading Places' (1983), and 'Married to the Mob' (1988). Willoughby posed for Penthouse (Dec 1980), wrote columns for High Society and Velvet, organized events, toured as a burlesque dancer, and advocated for porn. She retired and relocated to Alaska.
