Best known for playing the role of Laverne Hooks, a tiny-framed, reluctant and soft-spoken police officer with a high pitched voice, in the hit comedy-crime movie–series Police Academy, the Philadelphia born actress and singer has been active in the showbiz industry since the year 1976. As of 2015, her age is 68.
No moving on to her body configuration, she is not a tall woman with the height of 5 feet and 1 inch. The actress of black ethnicity has comparably low physical sex appeal. But, that doesn’t mean she is not hot and sexy.
Her mighty thigh and breasts, cheering attitude and straightforward personality are enough to capture your attention.
Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about her personal life. It seems like Marion likes to keep her personal life out of the media. Maybe she is secretly married to her longtime husband. Or, it can also be that the sergeant has locked her boyfriend in her heart and she doesn’t want to reveal the criminal of love to the world.
Keeping speculations aside, it will be safe to state that she is not dating anyone. Similarly, she hasn’t gone through a divorce till now and she has no children. That’s not it, her net worth is also not known. Also, she doesn’t have profiles on social networking sites like Twitter and Instagram. Maybe, she is not a computer person.
Born on May 10, 1947, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, talented actress Marion’s other notable on-screen works include Cos, Keep on Truckin’, and Receipe for Disaster. Broadway singer Marion’s has also written numerous songs in collaboration with Haras Fyre, a BMI affiliated songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist.
Interestingly, The Hollywood Trend (with Gail Scott Key and Stephen Stix Josey) interview that she gave back in 2012 is still remembered by her fans. In the interview, it was revealed that she was asked to wear a fat suit for the role of Hooks post audition. She weighed massive 103 pounds back then and the Police Academy management wasn’t supportive of the notion. Initially, the creators’ idea was to show the transition of over-weighed Hooks to a slim police officer through a boot camp plot in the movie. So, she wore the fat suit and did her part. Later, she also lost her excessive weights. However, the scene showcasing slimmer Hooks couldn’t make the final cut due to time constraints.
Surprisingly, the filmmakers asked Marion to put on the fat suit back for the sequel of the movie. It was a great strategy in their point of view as over-weighed Marion not only brought in sympathetic viewers to the show but also a distinctive and unconventional feel to the role.
If you didn’t know, Marion in real life has a bold and strong voice as compared to her Police academy’s character Hooks out-of-the-world voice.
Now summarizing her entire career, she has appeared in many TV shows, movies, films and has worked in Robot Chicken as a voice actor.
