A tall, curly haired brunette, with Macedonian heritage, Marika Goode was born in Bitola, Macedonia.  Marika developed a passion and drive for acting at the age of 16 when she appeared in Police Academy and then was a stand-in for Geena Davis in David Cronenberg’s the Fly.

Being bitten by the bug, Marika continued to work as an actor in front of the camera for many decades.
