Margaret Arline Judge (February 21, 1912 – February 7, 1974) was an American actress and singer who worked mostly in low-budget B movies, but gained some fame for habitually marrying.

Early years

Arline Judge was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut,[2] the daughter of newspaperman John Judge and his wife, Margaret Ormond Judge. She was educated at St. Augustine's in Bridgeport and at New Rochelle College, leaving the latter to seek a career in acting.[3]

Stage

Judge made her theatrical debut in Broadway musicals and revues such as The Second Little Show and Silver Slipper.[2] A part in George White's Scandals provided an opportunity to demonstrate her skills at comedy and dancing.[3]

Film

After meeting director Wesley Ruggles on a train,[3] she got her start in films with his help, then married him. Nicknamed "One-Take Sally,"[citation needed] her film career spanned the 1930s and 1940s.

Judge co-starred in When Strangers Meet (1934), among other films.[4]

Judge was married seven times and had two sons: Wesley Ruggles Jr. by her first husband, Wesley Ruggles,[6] and Dan Topping Jr. with second husband, Dan Topping,[1] who from 1945 to 1964 was president and part owner of the New York Yankees. She married Ruggles in 1931 and divorced him on April 9, 1937, a few hours before she married Topping, whom she divorced in 1940.[7]
