Mari's 1956 wishes were:
1. Personally, I'd like a larger home for mother and me.
2. I'd like a chance as an actress to select my own screen roles, always, whether or not I'm under contract to a studio.
3. As a citizen, it would be great if there were a standardization of all traffic laws so that the laws are the same throughout the United States.
Interesting wishes. Everyone feels like they could use a better house. Actors and Actresses have always wanted to be able to choose their own roles. I'm not sure how many people would have said so at the time, though. As for the third wish, having driven across the country a few times, I can totally understand her wish. It can be quite frustrating.
