Margia Dean Facts
Margia was offered roles on Broadway following the attention she received at the "Miss America Pageant," but instead went back home to finish high school and married her teenage sweetheart, Hal Fischer, in 1939 at age 17. Fischer went on to become a second-string All-American player and well-known basketball coach. The marriage did not last (less than six years) but the two remained friends.
Writer-turned-MGM talent agent Frank Orsatti and famed director Gregory La Cava both saw potential in Margia's career but died before either could make good on their efforts.
She wrote the lyrics to two songs that she ended up singing in the film Villa!! (1958). The music for one of them was provided by composer Alfred Newman. She sang in a couple of her other films as well. A nightclub singing tour was once planned for her but never came about due to her film output.
