Maxine Fife

Maxine Fife (10 September 1925 – 8 December 2008) was an American actress.

At the age of 17, she was working as an usher at a movie theater in Beverly Hills, California when Zeppo Marx noticed her. Zeppo became her agent and negotiated a contract with 20th Century Fox Studios where she appeared in many "B" grade movies. Among the movies in which Fife appeared were: Road to Utopia, Copacabana, Bring on the Girls, Hail the Conquering Hero, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, The Razor's Edge and One Body Too Many.

In 1943, at the age of 18, she was photographed by famed photographer George Hurrell and that photograph appeared in a full page spread in the January 1945 edition of Esquire Magazine. Fife was married twice and her second husband was world renowned interior designer and architect Paul László. They lived in Los Angeles, California. Fife died from dementia in a nursing home in Solana Beach, California.
