- Marian Clark was one of the first female news writers in radio, working for KNX during World War II. Later, she became friends with Hollywood writer Kathleen Hite, who thought scriptwriting would be good therapy for her (Clark was confined to a wheelchair). Hite introduced Clark to "Gunsmoke" producer Norman Macdonnell, and a new career was born. Clark subsequently worked steadily in network radio and television, providing nearly eighty scripts for the "Gunsmoke" radio series between 1957 and 1961. Many of those stories were also adapted for the television version of that famous Western. She also wrote one script for the radio version of "Have Gun, Will Travel" and one script for the "Klondike" television series. Clark died at 50, following a three-year battle with breast cancer.- IMDb Mini Biography By: anonymous
