Biography (Age)

Born in Cohutta, Georgia, the United States on the 27th of October 1963 to her parents, Stanley E. Maples, a real estate developer and his pretty model wife, Laura A. Locklear who was also a homemaker.

At a really young age, a young and athletic Maple had her high school education at Northwest Whitfield High School where she had a squeaky record being on the basketball team and being crowned homecoming Queen after serving as her class secretary. This was probably where her love for the runway was birthed.

When she left high school, the beautiful Marla rode on the experiences she had garnered in school and went on to contest in other real and tough beauty competitions like the contest for Miss Resaca Beach Poster Girl which she won in 1983. The next year, she went a step higher to compete at the Miss Georgia USA and finished as the 1st runner-up to the winner. She stepped down a bit the next year and won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic contest in 1985.
