- As a Class One advanced all-around gymnast in college Marneen's right ankle was injured badly from a fall off the balance beam. She underwent an ankle reconstruction surgery where a calf's tendon was inserted into the ankle in place of the torn ligaments. She performed 15 years of highly dangerous stunt work and stunt acting work with the calf's tendon in her ankle, a tendon that remains in place today. Marneen's calf's tendon has outlived the use of doctors using calf's tendons in place of human ligaments in ankle reconstruction surgeries, today they use ropes.
- In 1984 Marneen Fields was awarded a FALL GIRL license plate from J.P. Bill Catching and the Stuntman's Association and coined Hollywood's Original Fall Girl for performing (nearly 50) highly dangerous high falls, high dives, and high jumps in films and on primetime TV shows from 1976-1991. The title still sticks with her today. In 2018 she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Legendary Stuntwoman of the Year Award from the International Action on Film Festival.
- In 1973 Marneen Fields graduated Royal High School in Simi Valley, California with a major honor. She was one of three women in the United States awarded a full-ride athletic scholarship in gymnastics to Utah State University in Logan, Utah where she also studied theater arts and dance. It was rare for women to be awarded athletic scholarships in gymnastics at that time. At USU Marneen was the number one gymnast for the college competing at the Class One advance all-around level due to her ability to perform moves on floor exercise and balance beam similar to Olympic Gold Medalist Olga Korbut.
- At 18 years old Marneen Fields lost all of the hearing in her left ear due to a throat infection leaving her half deaf. The infection just missed killing the equilibrium nerves. In 2000 she contacted another infection that destroyed half the hearing nerves in her right ear leaving her severely hearing impaired for life. Despite this daunting obstacle she's gone on to become an award-winning pop-blues/soft rock singer and ASCAP composer.
- In 1977 Marneen became a regular stunt performer on the hit TV series, "The Man from Atlantis." On the series, Marneen performed risky high dives and underwater fight scenes, including a dive out of a helicopter into a swimming pool to resuscitate a dying Patrick Duffy. That year she became the first woman ever photographed doing the famous Man from Atlantis swim at the bottom of the ocean floor.
