Marilyn Jeanne McGuire (February 22, 1926 – August 7, 2021), known professionally as Marcy McGuire, was an American actress and contralto singer who was active in the 1940s. She was born to James Joseph McGuire, a film projectionist, and Annona (née Crowley) McGuire. Her parents divorced in the early 1930s while McGuire was still a child.
McGuire signed a contract with RKO Pictures and was subsequently cast in her first film at the age of sixteen, Seven Days' Leave (1942), which starred Lucille Ball. Her other films include Higher and Higher (1944, starring Frank Sinatra), Career Girl (1944), Seven Days Ashore (1944), It Happened in Brooklyn (1947) and You Gotta Stay Happy (1948). Her penultimate film before retiring from Hollywood was Jumping Jacks (1952), with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
