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

Career

Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Judge was educated in a Catholic convent and began her career as a dancer in an act for Jimmy Durante. After meeting director Wesley Ruggles on a train, she got her start in films with his help, then married him. Nicknamed "One-Take Sally," her film career spanned the 1930s and 1940s. After that, she had a few television appearances, the last one in an episode of Perry Mason in 1964.

Personal life and death

Judge was married seven times and had two sons; Wesley Ruggles, Jr. with first husband Wesley Ruggles and Dan Topping, Jr. with second husband Dan Topping. Her other husbands include:

James Ramage Addams (October 7, 1942 - July 24, 1945)

Vincent Morgan Ryan (August 3, 1945 - April 23, 1947)
Henry J. (Bob) Topping (April 29, 1947 - April 23, 1948)
George Ross III (January 18, 1949 - August 10, 1950)
Edward Cooper Heard (April 9, 1955 - November 2, 1960)
Judge is sometimes listed as being married to James M. Bryant, however both Judge and Bryant denied this claim. Judge died in West Hollywood, California on February 7, 1974.

She was laid to rest in St. Michael's Cemetery in Stamford, Connecticut, which is a cemetery designated for people of the Roman Catholic faith.

Selected filmography

The daughter of a Connecticut journalist, Arline Judge became a Broadway chorus dancer in her teens. She was given a chance to exhibit her instinctive comic talents in George White's Scandals and as a member of Jimmy Durante's nightclub act. Judge was in films from 1931, usually in hard-boiled, wisecracking parts. She gained prominence not through her largely forgettable film output, but from her marital record: among her seven husbands were director Wesley Ruggles and former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Daniel Topping. When asked why she continued pursuing matrimony despite failure after failure, Judge replied "you gotta keep trying." Retiring from films after 1949, Arline Judge spent her last years taking day work in TV commercials.
