The July 1959 Playboy Playmate appeared in '50s B-movies such as 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.' She regularly acted on TV in westerns and other fare, such as 1963's 'Hud' with Paul Newman, but for a time was better known for her 15-year relationship with actor Jim Hutton and her affair with Cary Grant. Her body was found by a neighbor in a mummified state in her home suggesting she may have been dead for close to a year.
