Curley, Mallory: Zeppo's Marion Benda and Valentino's Marion Benda: A Legacy of Confusion
(Category: Books and articles by and about colleagues and contemporaries of the Marx Brothers)
Promotional description: "When Zeppo Marx's first wife Marion Bimberg and Rudolph Valentino's last lover Marion Wilson both chose the stage name Marion Benda in the early 1920s, it generated confusion that has continued to this day. Both were performers on the Broadway stage concurrently, Zeppo's girl as an actress and Valentino's as a Ziegfeld Follies dancer [...] In addition to exploring all four marriages of the two Marion Bendas, this dual biography touches on Zeppo's strange role with the Marx Brothers and the intriguing Lady in Black phenomenon.
