Marilyn Knapp is an American actress born and raised in in the southwest and now resides in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Since childhood, she wanted to be an actress. As a child, she would recreate movies and TV shows in her bedroom and backyard and she and her cousin would put on shows for family at gatherings. Life took a turn, which led to moving around the US and much traveling. Marilyn is grateful for that and those experiences. She rediscovered her "acting bug" when she was a background actor in True Detective Season 3, Episode 6. Since then, she has done other background work, short film work, and has had a lead role in the short film "Alone" (2020), which is doing very well at film festivals. She has appeared in multiple commercials and continues her training.
