She was very glamorous, and judging body language, she had a good sense of comic timing, like a Doris Day. This is an actress I don’t ever recall seeing on anybody’s talk show even one time. I dont recall seeing her on the old shows like Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin. Merv would have lavished attention on her. Maybe the roles for a middle aged woman became too few, so she just walked away from hollywood in any form.
“She was very glamorous, and judging body language, she had a good sense of comic timing, like a Doris Day.”
Indeed. She played Doris Day’s nemesis in the 1954 musical comedy “Lucky Me”. She also gave a great performance as June Allyson’s spoiled and conceited sister in “My Man Godfrey.”
I read she spend the last few decades of her life as a recluse in New Mexico. She was probably happier outside of Hollyweird.
