    • Trivia
      Assertive, statuesque, voluptuous redhead, late 1960s starlet contracted by Universal, best known for playing the plucky lady bandit Penelope ("Bad Penny") Cushings opposite queasy, milquetoast Don Knotts in his comedy vehicle, The Shakiest Gun in the West (1968).
    • Quotes
      Producers have a stereotyped idea of what a hooker looks like, and they evidently think I'm typical of the breed. I mean there's no way I'm going to get the role of a mother in a detergent commercial on television. Everyone would be looking at my chest rather than the box of soap. [Noting that her first job for the cast of Funny Girl, even though she didn't sing] I know why they hired me, because of my, ah, figure.
