Trivia

Marilyn Knowlden was decided on by director Norman McLeod for the role of Alice in Paramount's 1933 production of "Alice in Wonderland", but it was discovered that she was not tall enough. The sets had been built for a girl of 60 inches high, but Marilyn was only 52 inches.

Marilyn's stand-in on films in the late 1930s was Gloria Thatcher. As of 2010 she and Gloria were still in touch with each other and would get together when they could.

Movies in which Marilyn Knowlden was considered for roles, but eventually did not appear include "Heroes for Sale" (Warner Bros., 1933, "Best of Enemies", Fox, 1933, "Alice in Wonderland", Paramount, 1933 and "The Great Ziegfeld", MGM, 1936).
