Thanks for the memories.
Of course I do not watch US TV (or much any TV for that matter) and I must have seen her in many films without noticing her. But no-one has mentioned the one role that her name does conjure up for me, her short-lived appearance in the dramatic opening of Kiss Me Deadly (1955), one of my favorite American movies.
