Marianne Edwards (born December 9, 1930) is a former child actress who appeared in the Our Gang film series from 1934 to 1936. She also appeared in several feature films in the 30's, including Gold Diggers Of 1933, Babes In Toyland with Laurel & Hardy, Stand Up and Cheer! with Shirley Temple and The Wizard Of Oz.

Edwards' most memorable Our Gang appearance was as the five-year-old Amateur Night contestant "Daisy Dimple" suddenly stricken with stage fright in Beginner's Luck. In the film George "Spanky" McFarland wins the prize money for her so she can buy her dancing costume ("Girlie, the dress is in the bag!"). In another classic installment, Edwards was wooed by Spanky and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer in Sprucin' Up, only to be won over by rich kid Jerry Tucker.

Edwards is one of the few surviving Our Gang cast members. She still resides in Southern California.

Some of the films in the filmography, including The Wizard of Oz, conflict with the information in IMDB. Perhaps someone can make the corrections or additions back and forth.
