Marcia Wallace – Breast Cancer

Marcia Wallace led a colorful life and lived an inspiration to everyone. She was the epitome of determination, who found success in hard work and dedication to her craft. She was near bankruptcy at one point in her life. She only had over a hundred dollars in her bank account when she finished college. This did not hold her back from pursuing her dream, though. She found herself on The Merv Griffin Show and that was the breakthrough that she needed. The rest they say is history. Towards the latter part of her life, she suffered all sorts of severe medical conditions including pneumonia and sepsis.

Sadly, she was diagnosed with cancer, which eventually took her life. She was 70 at that time, about to celebrate her birthday a week before she passed away. She remains an inspiration to many struggling artists in the industry.
