Born on August 26, 1928 in Kansas City, Missouri, Yvette Vickers majored in picture and theatre arts at UCLA for three years. On a trip to New York in the mid-1950s, she was cast as the White Rain Girl in commercials. She returned to the West Coast, working in various television series until she debuted in her first movie, À deux pas de l'enfer (1957), James Cagney's first directing effort. She played Allison Hayes' slatternly rival in L'attaque de la femme de 50 pieds (1958) and Bruno VeSota's slatternly wife in Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959). After doing a half dozen more movies through the end of the 1950s, the blonde, blue-eyed actress appeared once in 1963 in Le plus sauvage d'entre tous (1963), in What's the Matter with Helen? (1971), and in the television movie The Dead Don't Die (1975). Show less «

I always knew I wanted to try for a career in pictures, so I studied drama and worked in little theaters. But I was impatient for a talent scout to discover me. When I was 16 I bleached my hair as a bid for attention. I didn't know how to go about this and made many mistakes. Instead of taking weeks, I applied peroxide and ammonia three times in seven days and my hair got just like straw. My scalp had sore places all over. Even the color was horrid - an artificial orange that was unbecoming. It is interesting to me how much hair influences your personality. Men expect a blonde to be more frivolous and less intelligent.
