All Hail Marlene Warfield’s Laureen Hobbs Performance…Stuff of Legend

The great Marlene Warfield died…uhm, three and a half months ago. Chequita Warfield, Marlene’s sister, apparently needed time to recover from her painful loss before finally breaking the news to The Hollywood Reporter.

Marlene was 83 when she passed on 4.6.25 from lung cancer in Los Angeles. Born in ’41, she was 34 or 35 when she played Lauren Hobbs in Sidney Lumet‘s Network (’76).
