Biography
The younger sister of Lila Crane, Marion Crane had dreams and aspirations of being an actress. She was the girlfriend of Sam Loomis, and together both planned on stealing a large sum of money from her workplace, Lowery Real Estate, and settle out of Phoenix, Arizona. However, she instead decided to betray Sam and get the money to herself after finding out he had been cheating on her.

At the night of her plan, Crane used the opportunity of the distraction of her boss, George Lowery, to steal the money he had kept on a nearby, secure safe, to which she knew the combination after studying it for weeks in preparation of her plan. She took her car and rushed to whenever she could find, hoping that no one would be able to find her. Marion's hurry led her to the Lecter Clinic, where she checked with the proprietor, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Because the clinic also had free rooms, Hannibal gently asked if she wanted to sleep there until the next day where she could recompose herself and return to her travel, to which Marion agreed.
