Marla Singer was a strong-willed woman who came across as being a complete nutcase.
Marla was named after a school bully who Chuck Palahniuk knew in grade school.
In the movie, she was played by Actress Helena Bonham Carter
Biography
She used to steal food from delivery vans and clothing from laundromats to survive. She once attempted suicide by swallowing a bottle of Xanax, but it was "probably one of those cry-for-help things."
She met The Narrator at a testicular cancer victims support group, which she went to despite obviously having never had that affliction. She also went to to other support groups, but for reasons other than The Narrator's. She went to the groups because they were "cheaper than a movie and there's free coffee." This caused great distress to The Narrator, who had her agree to not go to the support groups in the same days as him.
She didn't hold the agreement, though: when The Narrator left the support groups for Fight Club, she took notice of his absence.
Tyler Durden didn't care too much for her besides sex (which he called 'sport-fuck'), but he recognized she was at least trying to reach the bottom.
