Queen of the Court

In August 1939, Alice Marble was a worldwide celebrity, having that year won singles, womens doubles, and mixed doubles titles at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. She was also likely recruited as a spy during the war to help recover stolen art, she had a part in the Tracy and Hepburn movie 'Pat and Mike', and played tennis with the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, and Clark Gable. A largely forgotten athlete, 'Queen of the Court', places Marble back on centre stage. A Dewey Diva Pick.
