Happy 86th Birthday Debra Paget!!! 
Yes, she's still around.
Born on August 19, 1933 in Denver, Colorado.
Thanks for everything, retired from acting in 1965
Paget's first notable film role was as Teena Riconti, girlfriend of the character played by Richard Conte, in Cry of the City, a 1948 film noir directed by Robert Siodmak for 20th Century Fox.
Fox liked her and signed her to a long-term contract.
Her first vehicle for Fox was the successful Broken Arrow with James Stewart. At the age of 16, Paget played a Native American maiden, Sonseeahray ("morningstar"), who falls in love with Stewart's character. Stewart was 42 at the time.
The fan mail Paget received during her stay at 20th Century-Fox was topped only by that for Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable.
The River's Edge 1957 was the last film she made for Fox.
Her final two films were for Roger Corman at American International Pictures: Tales of Terror 1963 and The Haunted Palace 1963.
Her last acting was in an episode of Burke's Law 1965 called Who Killed Wimbledon Hastings?
Paget became a born-again Christian. She hosted her own show, "An Interlude with Debra Paget", on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), a Christian network, in the early 1990s, and also was involved in "Praise the Lord". She occasionally appears on TBN as a guest.

Prince Valiant 1954
The Ten Commandments 1956, with co-star Edward G. Robinson.
