Marian McCargo Bell (March 18, 1932, Pittsburgh, PA - April 7, 2004, Santa Monica, CA) was a former tennis champ who later found success in film and television.

McCargo attended Boston's West Hills College before winning the Whiteman Cup. She defeated Mo Connelly at Forest Hills in 1950, then later won the State Senior Tennis Championship in doubles. In 1951, she married Richard Cantrell Moses, who later became an advertising executive in Los Angeles. They had four sons.

McCargo first entered acting as a supporting player on such popular television shows as "Perry Mason," "Hawaii Five-O," "Hogan's Heroes," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," and "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."

She made her feature film debut in the 1966 crime comedy Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round (a film which also served as the cinematic debut of Harrison Ford). Roles in The Undefeated (with John Wayne and Rock Hudson) and Doctors' Wives followed. McCargo also became known for her role as Harriet Roberts on the nighttime soap "Falcon Crest". She was sometimes credited as Marian Moses.

She divorced Moses in 1963. In 1970, she married Congressman Alphonzo E. Bell, Jr., a widower with three sons of his own. McCargo retired from acting to become a political wife. Using the married name Marian McCargo Bell, she was politically active during his eight-term congressional career and campaigned for her husband, including during his unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in 1976.

She died of pancreatic cancer in 2004. She is mother of actors William R. Moses and Rick Moses, and director Harry Moses.
