In 1929, White was signed by Fox Studios, where she brightened several of the early Fox musicals, including Sunny Side Up (1929) and Just Imagine (1930). Her first assignment outside of Fox was arguably her best: She played the aggressive, vampish Dolores in the zany Wheeler and Woolsey farce Diplomaniacs (1933). The following year, she starred in the two-reel Columbia "musical novelty" Woman Haters, in which she was supported by a trio called Howard, Fine, and Howard, later and better known as the Three Stooges. Marjorie White's promising film career ended with tragic suddenness when she was killed in a car crash. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
