She also appeared on Perry Mason, Bat Masterson, The Rebel, Peter Gunn, The Twilight Zone, Wagon Train, Crusader, and Night Gallery, among other series. She made her film debut as Lady Macbeth in Orson Welles' 1948 film Macbeth, and later appeared in White Heat (1949), although her film roles were mainly supportive.
