She was noticed as a photo model at age 19 when featured in the December 1949 issue of Glamorous Models magazine. In 1955 she toured 68 cities to promote Mercury automobiles and attract tourists to the southeastern United States, and in 1958 columnist Earl Wilson dubbed her his "perfect Wilson girl". That year, under contract to Sid Pink, she joined a Canadian musical cast of Li'l Abner and began appearing on television. Her best-known TV commercial was an early color one for RCA in the early 1960s.
