No..
Mary Magdalene was the first witness to the resurrection of Jesus. (See the 20th Chapter of the Gospel of John).
She was one of Jesus' followers during his ministry, and was present at the cross when he died.
Sometimes she is erroneously identified with the woman in Luke 7 who was a notorious sinner.
The 8th chapter of the Gospel of Luke describes Mary Magdalene as being healed and supporting Jesus' ministry out of her means.
With love in Christ.

Mary the Mother of Jesus was not the same person as Mary Magdalene. The DaVinci Code is fictional. There is no truth in it. The author of the book states that it is fiction. Mary Magdalene was a woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons (Luke 8:2). The name Magdalene likely indicates that she came from Magdala, a city on the southwest coast of the Sea of Galilee. After Jesus cast seven demons from her, she became one of His followers. Mary Magdalene has been associated with the "woman in the city who was a sinner" (Luke 7:37) who washed Jesus' feet, but there is no scriptural basis for this. The city of Magdala did have a reputation for prostitution. This information, coupled with the fact that Luke first mentions Mary Magdalene immediately following his account of the sinful woman (Luke 7:36-50), has led some to equate the two women. John 11:2, though, identifies the women in Luke 7:36-50 as Mary of Bethany, not Mary Magdalene.

That wouldn't make much sense. Mary Magdalene would need to be about the same age as Jesus in order to be a practicing prostitute when he came across her. Even if there was an age difference of 5 years or so, she's not old enough to be his mother.
On the other hand, I don't believe any of them really existed, so it's a moot point...

No Mary Magdalene was the whore Jesus saved form being stoned by saying to the crowd about to pelt her with rocks "let those without sin cast the first stone", and the crowd dispersed without throwing a single stone.

Ms Magdalene was one of his inner circle of friends, some say his wife and the mother of his som who later was part of the Catholic Church in Rome, but you can't believe everything you hear or read.

No. Mary Magdalene was the adulteress who the people were going to stone to death, but Jesus said anyone without sin should cast the first stone. She was also the one who washed Jesus feet with her tears and scented oils and wipe them with her hair
