Please be advised that Caren Marsh-Doll did NOT pass away as was
reported in this group. She is alive and well. Please make sure in
the future that information like is thoroughly researched before
reported. There are alot of very upset people grieving that have
received a double shock--that of Caren's death,and the report that she
is in fact very much alive.

It would have been worthwhile for you to have included your source in
your original post on her "death"

There's no cause to pile on jlp for somebody else's mistake or prank.

Really? Then it was stripped by GG. This is the body of the post as it
appears here, in its entirety:

"Actress Dorothy Morris 1922-2011 (Younger Sister of Actress Caren
Marsh Doll)

Subject: Actress Dorothy Morris 1922-2011 (Younger Sister of Actress
Caren Marsh Doll)
RIP Dorothy Morris

Beautiful brunette Dorothy Morris died November 20, 2011. Dorothy
played the disturbed Ingeborg Jensen in MGM's Our Vines Have Tender
Grapes (1945). The role was brief but Morris made every moment count
and it remains a mystery why the studio, who had put her under
contract in 1941, didn't at least attempt to star her. She had
studied
under Maria Ouspenskaya before testing for The Courtship of Andy
Hardy
(1942) and although she failed to get the part (it went instead to
Donna Reed), Morris hung in there and even managed a British accent
for the war drama Cry Havoc (1943). Vines, however, became the
highlight of a rather unfulfilled Hollywood career that later
included
guest-starring roles on such television series as Wagon Train, The
Donna Reed Show, and Dragnet. She is the younger sister of dancer/
actress Caren Marsh.

MORRIS, Dorothy
Born: 2/23/1922, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Died: 11/20/201, U.S.A.

Dorothy Morris' westerns - actress:
Casey Jones (TV) - 1975 (Emma)
Rawhide (TV) - 1959, 1962 (Mrs. Kincaid, Laverne Mushgrove)
Wagon Train (TV) - 1964 (Lola)

Wrong post. Here's the original post:

Caren Marsh (April 6, 1919 - January 2, 2012)


At MGM Studios in the 1930s there was a handful of extras who would
jump in at any moment to take over a scene for one of its various
stars. One of which was the late Caren Marsh. She was born on April 6,
1919 in Hollywood, CA the daughter of a well to do Methodist minister.
She was also the older sister of actress Dorothy Morris (1922 - 2011).
Following her graduation from Hollywood High School in 1937 she began
her career as a dance and radio actress. In 1939 she began her career
as a dancer and stand in for Judy Garland and was a dance stand-in for
The Wizard of Oz (1939) as well as Ziegfeld Girl (1941). She had seven
titles to her credit in the 1940s, some of which included Secrets of a
Sorotiy Girl (1945), Navajo Kid (1945), Night and Day (1946), and
Smash Up: Story of a Woman (1947). She made her last film appearance
in the Errol Flynn motion picture The Adventures of Don Juan (1948).
On July 13, 1949 Marsh was one of 14 survivors who lived through the
Standard Airlines Crash in which 35 passengers and crew members died.
Following her miraclous survival, and avoiding having a foot
amputated, she spent the remainder of her life in Palm Springs, CA
where she was active both in the Methodist church and doing monthly
volunteer work at the Stroke Activity Center giving lessons in dance
theropy. She also made appearances at Wizard of Oz festivals
throughout the country most recently as the grand marshall of the 2011
Oz-Stravaganza in Ohittenago, New York last June.

After a long life of excitment, dancing, and entertaining thousands
Caren Marsh died from natural causes on the morning of January 2, 2011
from natural causes in her Palm Springs home at age 92. By her request
funeral services were held promptly on January 5, 2011 at the Palm
Springs United Methodist Community Church followed by internment at
Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cathedral City. In her own words, Caren
said, "I was so thankful to just be alive. Things that bothered me
before, I have become much more peaceful and less worried about
anything."

My apologies for carelessness. The post with the lack of attribution
was the Dorothy Morris (Younger Sister of Actress
Caren Marsh Doll) one.

It's still a good reminder that a death notice that's based on a blog post
should be labeled as unconfirmed.
