She met Frank Sinatra on the set of "Can-Can" and for a time the two were engaged, but they split badly and Sinatra ignored her after that.

She died of pancreatic cancer, following a valiant battle with this most lethal of diseases, exactly two weeks short of her sixtieth birthday in 1996, survived by her son and her mother. Her ex-husband, TV actor John McCook who is the father of her only child, her son, reconciled with her shortly before she died after many years of acrimony.
