Muriel Evans was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on July 20, 1910 or 1911 and passed away from colon cancer on October 26, 2000 at the Motion Picture and Television Home in Woodland Hills, California.

In 1929, she married Michael J. P. Cudahy, the grandson of one of the founders of the Cudahy meat packing company, but that pairing was short-lived. In 1936, she married stockbroker Marshall R. Worchester and that union lasted until his death in 1971. The obituary on Evans notes that she lived for many years in Tarzana, California and had no surviving relatives. When her health declined, she moved to the Motion Picture Home.

There is no record for Muriel in the California Death Records database since that only covers the years 1940 thru 1997.

Les Adams has her identified in about 50 sound era films, which includes 13 sagebrush adventures and one western themed serial. Muriel also did comedy features and shorts. Examples: she worked in nine of the Charlie Chase comedies as well as PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES (1932) with Laurel and Hardy. Most of her film work occurred in the 1930s, and her finale as a heroine and leading lady was at Monogram with Tex Ritter in WESTBOUND STAGE and ROLL, WAGONS, ROLL.

Sometimes a blonde and sometimes a brunette, Muriel's western and cliffhanger roles consisted of multiple film appearances with William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy), Buck Jones, John Wayne and Ritter:
