Marguerite Churchill (December

26, 1910 – January 9, 2000) was an American

film actress with a film career spanning from 1929 to 1952. She is best known

today as John Wayne's first leading lady, in The Big Trail (1930). She was the daughter of Edward

Paycen Churchill, a producer who owned a chain of theaters, and Marguerite N.

Graham. Her father died when she was ten years old. She was educated in New York City at the Professional Children's

School and the Theatre Guild Dramatic School. She appeared on

stage and was applauded on Broadway as a leading lady when just sixteen years old.

An official of Fox Film saw her acting and gave her

a contract which shortly afterwards led her to debut on screen in The Diplomats. Churchill

played leading lady to John Wayne in Raoul Walsh's The Big Trail (1930), an early widescreen epic and Wayne's first leading role. She

appeared with Wayne the following year in Girls Demand Excitement (1931),

with Spencer Tracy and George Raft in Quick Millions (1931),

with Will Rogers in Ambassador Bill (1931), with Warner Oland in Charlie Chan Carries On (1931),

with George O'Brien in Riders of

the Purple Sage (1931), with Charles Farrell in Girl Without a Room (1933),

with Ralph Bellamy in The Final Hour (1936),

with Boris Karloff in The Walking Dead (1936),

and with Edward Van Sloan in Dracula's Daughter (1936).

Churchill appeared in more than 25 films. She was married for 15 years to her

one-time costar George O'Brien from

July 15, 1933, until their divorce in 1948. They had three children, one of

whom was novelist Darcy O'Brien, whom she

outlived by two years. Her daughter Orin has played double bass for the New York Philharmonic

Orchestra since 1966. A third child, Brian, died in infancy in

1934. After her divorce from O'Brien, she appeared in one movie and a few

television plays. In 1954, she announced her engagement to Peter Ganine, a sculptor. In the "California Marriage

Index, 1949–1959", there is a record of marriage and file date of June 5,

1954, for Peter Ganine and Marguerite Churchill. In 1960, she moved to Rome and, in 1970, to Lisbon, Portugal. She came back to the United States in the

1990s to live near her son, Darcy, whom she outlived by two years.[
