Marilyn Tucker Quayle (born July 29, 1949) is an American lawyer and novelist.
She is the wife of the 44th vice president of the United States, Dan Quayle, and served as the country's second lady from 1989 to 1993.
Early life and education
Marilyn Tucker was born in Indianapolis, Indiana's Meridian-Kessler neighborhood, to Mary Alice (née Craig, d. 1975) and Warren Samuel Tucker (d. 2004). She has three sisters (Nancy, Sally, and Janet), as well as two brothers (James and William). Her parents were both physicians. In Maybole, Scotland, her maternal grandfather was born. She had a strict Christian upbringing. Colonel Robert B. Thieme, Jr., the founder and former pastor of Berachah Church in Houston, was a longtime admirer of the Tuckers. Marilyn Quayle said in an NBC interview years later, as national attention was focusing on her family's religious convictions, "I grew up with my mother listening to (Thieme's) tapes. ... I've never heard him on social issues. I didn't even know that he espoused any." She does support his biblical beliefs.
She enrolled Broad Ripple High School and earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Purdue University. She starred as both a pompom girl and as the treasurer of her freshman class while attending college. She later attended night law school and graduated with a J.D. Robert H. McKinney School of Law at Indiana University. Dan Quayle, the son of a newspaper publisher, was on display there. Both were expected to collaborate on a draft version of Indiana's death penalty statute. On November 18, 1972, a courtship arose, and they were married by their law school dean just a few weeks later. They both passed the bar exam in 1974; she had given birth to their first child just a few days before the exam.
Personal life
The Quayles live in Paradise Valley, Arizona. They have three children: Tucker, the founder of an investment firm and Benjamin, who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from Arizona's 3rd congressional District from 2011 to 2013; and Corinne, their daughter.
Career
Marilyn and Dan moved to Huntington, Indiana, where they formed Quayle and Quayle, a joint law firm. She did the majority of the legal work; she worked for his father's newspaper and was able to enter politics. He was elected as a Republican senator in 1976, but the state suspended their law enforcement activities after that. He was elected to the Senate in 1980.
Dan was elected Vice President on George H. W. Bush's ticket in 1988. Marilyn was "always her husband's closest and most candid advisor" during her husband's political career. During the presidential race, she ran largely alone. During her 1988 campaign, she was often portrayed as intelligent, cold, and tenacious – the power behind her husband. However, as the second lady, she served in a more traditional role as hostess, as well as being a devoted and involved mother to their three young children. She has also worked for causes including early detection of breast cancer (her mother died of breast cancer at the age of 56). She also published Embrace the Serpent, a thriller about a vice president's wife.
Marilyn was a leading campaigner during the 1992 presidential race, speaking at the Republican National Convention and spending more than 40 days on the campaign trail. She favored a strong "family values" theme in her speeches, and conservatives were particularly popular. Bush and Quayle lost reelection last year, and the Quayles returned to Huntington, where she joined a Indianapolis law firm. The couple then migrated to Arizona, where the former Vice President had spent a substantial portion of his formative years.
Quayle narrated an advertisement for Indiana gubernatorial candidate Stephen Goldsmith in 1996. Karen Handel, the governor of Georgia, narrated an advertisement in 2010.
In 2011, she was reported to have called Arizona governor Jan Brewer about an Arizona redistricting initiative that was detrimental to her son, Congressman Benjamin Quayle.
