Similar to Marjorie, Harry died at his Los Angeles home, but in 2000 at the age of 94, leaving her widowed.
They were both active philanthropists and known for their charity work.
Marjorie had one grandson and a son, Gregg Archer, four other grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Marjorie's daughter Anne followed her lead in the acting world and starred in 1987's Fatal Attraction, a role for which she was later recognized with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nod.
Marjorie's own passion for acting saw her fib about her age to bag a part on Broadway to take the role of an actress 10 years her senior.
In an interview quoted on her fan page, she revealed: 'I always wanted to act, and was very well prepared when I was given a role, on Broadway, in The Old Maid.
I went on tour with the show, thus we fibbed about my age, adding two years. This was so no teacher would be required.
'My mother accompanied me, and it all worked out fine. I replaced a girl who was 10 years older than me.'
