Bust: 37 inches
Waist: 24 inches
Thighs: 19 inches

She went method in 5 Branded Women and had a shaved head. Pretty gritty stuff for a film of it's era, I think it deserves a mention.

I still wonder why Hitchcock wanted her to play Kim Novak´s character in Vértigo. She didn´t look right for that part IMO

She deserves a place in Cinema history if only for being in the three great films you mention, Sam. 23 Paces to Baker Street and Wichita are also excellent films.
She is still alive. She looked around 1`63 to me.

Rob can you add those? Also a typo on Psycho!

Rob can you squeeze in Hellfighters, Autumn Leaves, Back Street and Follow Me, Boys!?

She was very cute but definitely on the petite side. Pretty well towered by any co-star over six feet. Kind of had a fleetingly successful career she had but at least she got to appear in 3 of the greatest films of all time (Searchers, Psycho & Liberty Valance).

Thanks for adding Rob! Could you correct spelling on Psycho and add to her credits The FBI Story, 5 Branded Women and Hellfighters?
