Marston died in 1947 at the age of only 53, although Elizabeth and Olive continued to live together for decades after his death.
Their story is told in the 2017 film “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women,” starring Luke Evans as Marston, Rebecca Hall as his wife Elizabeth and Bella Heathcott as Olivia.
