[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440373, member: 7"] It is a shame Joan never worked with Sirk. Her style of acting and his style of drama seems to paint them as an ideal duo. Perhaps QUEEN BEE would've worked better had Sirk been the mastermind behind-the-camera and had it been shot in color. Just for kicks, I decided to do a little digging into the life of actress Lucy Marlow because, to my knowledge, I've never seen her in a single thing outside of QUEEN BEE. After looking at her list of acting credits, it's certainly understandable why I've never seen her in anything else... IMDb lists just 16 acting credits for her. She was born in Los Angeles in 1932, and her first acting experience came from the Pasadena Playhouse. Her screen career began in 1954 with the Doris Day film LUCKY ME, followed by small roles in A STAR IS BORN (1954), MY SISTER EILEEN (1955), and the aforementioned QUEEN BEE. After 1956, what few credits she has on on television Westerns, like GUNSMOKE (1959), TALES OF WELLS FARGO (1960), and SHOTGUN SLADE (1961). Her career never really took off, with her last acting role being in a 1975 episode of THE BLUE KNIGHT. Marlow was married to professional baseball player Andy Carey from 1955 through 1974. They had a son together, James, in 1956, who passed away in a car wreck in 1980 when he was 23. Marlow died in Beaumont, California in 2018 at age 86.
