Early life

Born in Taylorville, Illinois on September 14, 1937,[2] she based her stage name on her hometown. A coal miner's daughter, she attended public schools in Taylorville and was the top baton twirler at Taylorville High School. Her performance in a school talent show led to a recording contract.[1]

Career

She was under contract to Howard Hughes-owned RKO Pictures in the 1950s, but he only allowed her to act in one movie (a small part in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt in 1956).[4] When her seven-year contract ended, she became a regular on the science-fiction adventure TV series Men into Space (1959–1960)[5] as well as acted in many other TV shows and several feature films.[citation needed]
