LOVERS, DATES, AND FLIRTATIONS

MEDICAL HISTORY
Marley had haemosynthosis (a rare, non-malignant, fatal blood disease) in 1985. Her life was saved by a bone-marrow donation from her newly discovered sister Vicky.

In 1988 Marley discovered that she was unable to conceive a child. She was devastated by the news and for the next four years tried everything the doctors suggested to cure her condition. All her attempts proved futile. Marley eventually reconciled to being childless.

Marley was raped by Jake McKinnon on October 25, 1990.

Marley was run down in 1998 and then was caught in a hospital fire. Extensive facial damage required plastic surgery. When the bandages were removed, Marley and Vicky were no longer identical twins.

She wore reading glasses.

LEGAL HISTORY
In late 1990, Marley was accused of shooting Jake McKinnon. She was put before a jury in a trial that lasted several months. Though Marley was innocent, the situation looked bad for her. As Jake's rape victim, she was thought to have a perfect motive. When things were at their worst, Marley's mother, Donna Love, stood up and confessed to the crime in order to protect her daughter. It was later revealed that Paulina Cory had shot Jake.

CURRENT AND FORMER OCCUPATIONS
Marley came from a very wealthy family and consequently has not worked much.

Probably her first real job was waitressing at Smiley's Diner in 1985 when the Love family was in dire straits.

In 1988, Marley began interning at the Stafford Gallery. From 1991-1993, she worked at the Wheeler Gallery helping to handle clients and manage exhibitions.

In 1994, Marley became infant-care director at the waterfront clinic and counselor for the Bayside Community Center. A few months she moved to Los Angeles where she became the director of a well-baby clinic.
