Television career
Her most well-known role was as Sissie Porter, one of the daughters in the one-season sit-com The Tom Ewell Show 1960-61. Her other television work as a child consisted of appearances in Lassie, in the crime-drama The Detectives, in the medical-drama The Eleventh Hour, and in the western Destry — she also appeared (as two different characters) in two different episodes of Bonanza.
Her only television work as an adult was in 1975, where she played "Scuba Duba" in the live-action super-hero series The Secrets of Isis. It was rumored she was selected to take the place of Debra Winger in portraying Wonder Girl (aka Drusilla, the younger sister of Wonder Woman), in the 1976 and 1977 seasons of the Wonder Woman television series (and, possibly, in a Wonder Girl spinoff) after Debra left the show in 1975 — however, no such role or show materialized, and this rumor cannot be verified.
Film career
She appeared, uncredited, in the 1960 film Tall Story.
