Trivia
She lived in England prior to World War II, acting on stage. Publicity stills led to her being spotted by a talent scout and signed to a contract by Paramount in 1951. She appeared in a couple of films, but never made it beyond ingénue status. The rest of her brief career was spent guest starring in episodic television.
