Marla’s Bio

Marla Martenson is the hopelessly romantic matchmaker who believes that there is a top for every pot. Marla was born in Tacoma, Washington the “City of Destiny.”  A true Gemini and natural born actress, she was “working the room” at the age of three when she was already demonstrating a flair for dialects and drama. At ten she was putting on variety shows for the neighborhood with a belly dance in full costume as the finale. As outgoing as she was, she also spent hours locked in her bedroom reading piles of books and writing poetry and short stories. At sixteen she was living in Iran with her family and attending Tehran American school where she was a cheerleader for the football team, and learning to speak French and Persian. When the revolution started, her family moved back to Washington State where she finished high school and a year of college and then headed for Hollywood. Marla soon found work doing television commercials and print modeling. To help pay the bills and hone her skills to tolerate the intolerable, Marla also did what most L.A. actors do…. She waited tables. In the early nineties she moved to Chicago and lived at the famous Tree Studios. Now back in Los Angeles, she has been working in the professional world of matchmaking since 2001, and she has introduced many couples that have gotten married. For those still looking, her enthusiasm continues to inspire and give people hope that yes you can find your soul mate. Marla found hers, Adolfo, six years ago. They were married in his hometown Mexico City in 2002.
