In 1968, Marie received national attention when she landed the first of three roles in the wildly popular Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows produced by Dan Curtis. Her first appearance was on October 4, and she played the part of the diabolical Frankenstein-like monster "Eve". She would go on to play the demented wife of Clinton, "Jenny Collins", Marie's personal favorite character, who was notable for her unkempt mane of red hair, black lace dress, and hysterical, cackling laughter. Her last part in the series was "Megan Todd", an antique shopkeeper. Her final episode on the program was aired March 16, 1970. In 2009, she returned to the world of Dark Shadows in the series of audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions. In 2010 she reprised the role of "Jenny Collins" in The Doll House.

Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless.”
