Marlene was Born in Buffalo, New York and began her career singing at the Moose Lodge at age six. By the time she was sixteen, she was being driven to engagements up to 100 miles from home by her father. She has been performing and earning her own way ever since. After several years on the road having played every Marriott, Ramada and Hilton Hotel between New York City and San Francisco, Marlene worked her way to Reno. An Audition at Harrah's awarded Marlene her first lounge job in Nevada. After Reno, Marlene came to Las Vegas and began to audition.During the audition at the Aladdin Hotel, the room began to fill up. The entertainment director was so impressed he moved acts around and hired Marlene on the spot.
Marlene's years with Frank Sinatra would further her education and allow her to perform with a large orchestra in many of the great concert venues in America: Sunrise Theare in Florida, Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey, Pine Knob in Detroit, Circle Star Theatre in San Carlos, Chicago Stadium in Chicago, Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, and more. At two shows a day to sold out houses, Marlene was exposed to well over a million people during her two and a half years on the Frank Sinatra Show. During Sinatra's off time, Marlene also opened shows at the Riviera, the Sands and the Sahara with headliners Flip Wilson, Don Rickles, Alan King, The Village People, and others.
