Marcus, who wrote for programs such as Peyton Place, One Life to Live and Knots Landing, in addition to sitcoms and variety shows, served several terms on the Writers Guild of America West board.

Among her early writing credits were episodes of the 1960s sitcoms Dennis the Menace and Please Don't Eat the Daisies.
