Early life
Rambeau was born in San Francisco to Marcel and Lilian Garlinda Rambeau (née Kindelberger) Rambeau. When she was a child, her parents separated. She and her mother went to Nome, Alaska, where young Marjorie dressed as a boy, performed, and played the banjo in saloons and music halls. In such a bizarre and woolly outpost as Nome, her mother insisted that she dress as a youth to thwart amorous attention from drunken grown men. She first appeared on stage at the age of 12. She began her theatre career as a strolling lady. In a tryout of Willard Mack's play, Kick In, she made her Broadway debut on March 10, 1913.
Personal life
Rambeau was descendant from colonial immigrant Peter Gunnarsson Rambo, who immigrated from Sweden to New Sweden in the 1600s and served as a justice of the Governor's Council. He was the longest-lived of the original settlers and was regarded as the "Father of New Sweden" in New Sweden.
Rambeau was married three times and had no children. Willard Mack, a Canadian writer, actor, and producer, was first married in 1913. In 1917, they divorced. Hugh Dillman McGaughey married her in 1919, a marriage that ended in divorce in 1923. Rambeau's last marriage was to Francis Asbury Gudger in 1931, with whom she stayed until his death in 1967. Gudger was from Asheville, North Carolina. They stayed in the winters often, and in the summer they lived in Sebring, Florida. Rambeau and Gudger had been sweethearts years before when he was the "toast of Broadway" when his former wife was killed in a car accident in Tampa two years ago.

Mary Moreland and The Greater Woman (1917), two of her silent films with the Mutual Company, were among her silent films.
