Since my 4th great-grandmother was born a Harlan, this caught my eye. According to
IMDb, Marion Harlan, wife of Walter Kennedy Jr., was the daughter of an Otis Harlan.
Since only 3 movies are listed in which she had a role, it appears that her film career
was short-lived.
Marion Harlan was born on June 18, 1904. She was an actress, known for Shoes
(1925), Hit and Run (1924) and A Man Four-Square (1926). She was married to
Walter Kennedy. She died in April 1971 in Martinsville, Indiana, USA.
