Marnie Hall: Profiles from the Quiet-D Illustrations

Marnie Hall, 2011. By Travis Simpkins

     Marnie Hall's beautiful visage was first featured on Quiet Desperation episode #16, "A Line of Traffic." She played the subservient wife of a lawyer, Kevin, who was pressuring her into attending medical school, while her true dreams lay in a musical career playing the violin. Living downstairs from Robby, her husband would get enraged at the level of noise generated in the domicile of a musician, and Marnie would get caught in between during the subsequent confrontations.

     In real life, Marnie is indeed living the dream of her fictional Quiet-D character. She is a professional musician, playing violin with an astoundingly diverse array of projects... everything from classical to rock music, symphonies to the Liz Borden band.
