Born Ardis Ankerson on September 29, 1915, on the island of Negros in the Philippine Islands to Swedish parents, her father, Otto Peter Ankerson, managed a sugar plantation. After her mother’s death in 1925, Ardis and her sister Ruth were sent to Brent School in Baguio. The sisters later moved to the United States, where Ardis completed high school in San Antonio, Texas. From 1933 to 1935, she attended Texas State College for Women (now Texas Woman’s University), where she was named Freshman Class Beauty in 1934.

Marshall's later roles included Strange Impersonation (1946), Whispering Smith (1948), and her final credited film appearance in The Iroquois, Trail (1950). In 1955, she made a cameo as herself—credited as Mrs. William Holden—on the popular television series I Love Lucy, in the episode titled “The Fashion Show.”
