Marjie Millar (August 10, 1931 – April 16, 1966), was an American television and film actress. She was born Marjorie Joy Miller to George W. and Eunice Miller in Tacoma, Washington. (Millar's father had changed his surname to "Miller", but she later returned to the original version.)

During World War II she was named "Sweetheart of the 41st Division" having performed more than 7,000 hours singing for soldiers at nearby Ft. Lewis.

In 1946, she hosted a variety show for patients at Madigan Army Hospital at Ft. Lewis on the unique radio station for the hospital known as "Voice of Madigan". She attended Ann Wright Seminary, Washington Grammar School, Mason Junior High School and graduated in 1950 from Stadium High School in Tacoma. In 1949, she enrolled at Stephens College, an all-women's school in Columbia, Missouri, where she carried a double major in radio/drama and psychology, graduating in 1951.

Millar was married to University of Missouri college student James Sidney Rollins, Jr. (1950–?); photographer and television director John Florea (1954–1957); author and sportswriter John McCallum (1961–64), whom she met when he was writing her biography (now lost); and to United States Navy pilot and former Stadium HS classmate Lt. Cmdr. Charles Candoo (1964-death).

She appeared in the television series Dragnet (in 1956) and The Millionaire.
