Marika Aba (November 12, 1929, Budapest, Hungary — November 12, 1972) was an American dancer and journalist. Born Marika Wolff, her father was an engineer who disappeared while working in Turkey at the outbreak of World War II. After the war, during the Soviet occupation of Hungary, she and her mother, Georgina Maros, escaped to Austria by swimming across a river at night. Having trained as a ballerina in Austria, she was a prima ballerina in Rome when she landed the role of the "Assyrian Dancer at Nero's banquet" in the 1951 movie Quo Vadis. After this role, she and her mother moved to Sherman Oaks, California.
