Marla Ann Maples (born October 27, 1963) is an American actress and television personality. She is known for her six-year marriage to Donald Trump.
Maples was born in Cohutta, Georgia, the daughter of Laura Ann Locklear (1940–2014), a homemaker and model, and Stanley Edward Maples, a real estate developer. Maples attended Northwest Whitfield High School in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, where she was 1981 Homecoming queen; she was invited to return for the 1991 homecoming to crown the school's new queen.
She is known most for her marriage to Donald Trump, the current President of the United States. She met Trump in 1989 and had a highly publicized relationship with at least one breakup. The press coverage – the New York Post would have Trump appear on its cover for eight days in a row. – amazed Trump, and it distinguished Maples from the many other women rumored to be dating him. The relationship produced one child, Tiffany Ariana Trump, born October 13, 1993.
The 1993 Long Island Rail Road shooting caused Trump to reevaluate his life. The couple married in December 1993 at New York City's Plaza Hotel in a ceremony reportedly attended by a thousand guests, including Rosie O'Donnell and O. J. Simpson. They separated in May 1997 and divorced June 8, 1999.
Maples appeared in Maximum Overdrive and Executive Decision. She followed these films with a role in the Todd Solondz movie Happiness, and appeared in the movie Black and White. Other films include A Christmas Too Many, Loving Annabelle, Two of Hearts, Richie Rich's Christmas Wish, For Richer or Poorer, A Sight for Sore Eyes, and Something Wilder. Since then, she has had a part as an actress in Switching Lanes, directed by Thomas Mikal Ford, which won the Feature Film Silver Award in October 2015 at the Kingdomwood Christian Film Festival.
