She and her mother, Aileen, hit Hollywood in August, 1957, with the help of agent Dick Clayton, who had seen her on a television show in New York. In charge of her career, she gets a small part in a 20th Century Fox movie--She plays the teenage baby sitter in "Rally round the Flag, Boys!".

A contract with 20th provides her first security. A year later at the age of 15 she stars in the TV sitcom, "The Many loves of Dobie Gillis."
