MINI BIO:
Pneumatic American blonde star with little to offer beyond outsize breasts, a cute face, and a little-girl voice - enough to propel her to stardom in a few major films at that home of busty blondes through the years, 20th Century Fox. The seemingly inevitable downward spiral through men, drink, drugs, and semi-nude appearances in nightclubs was graphically depicted in a thousand newspaper stories. Died in a car crash.
