Did you know that a teenage Martha Vickers had to be instructed by crewmembers what an orgasm was on the set of 1946’s The Big Sleep because she was still a virgin, and did you know that she later became former child star, Mickey Rooney’s third wife? Martha Vickers broke into the entertainment industry at a young age, though she didn’t catch her big break until being cast in the 1946 picture The Big Sleep. The film was meant as a starring vehicle for stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, though Martha Vickers ended up stealing the spotlight with her performance as the sex-crazed and drug-addled younger sister of Lauren’s character. Sadly, this hit performance didn’t yield a successful career, and Martha retired barely a decade later.

Martha appeared in several more features after her successful turn in The Big Sleep, but none of them proved nearly as successful as that hit 1946 film noir. Many credit Martha’s successful performance in The Big Sleep to director Howard Hawks. It seems that no other director was able to get quite as successful of a performance out of the actress over the course of her remaining career. According to Howard himself, this was because her subsequent film roles tried to paint her as a good girl, which the audience didn’t want to see. Her role in The Big Sleep remains iconic.
Besides being known for being Carmen Sternwood in The Big Sleep, Martha Vickers was also known for being Mickey Rooney’s third wife. Martha was married three times over the course of her lifetime, though none of her marriages were incredibly successful. She had three children before dying at a tragically young age.
