Ganley
Actress-singer-dancer Gail Ganley enjoyed a busy career on both the large and small screens across the 1950s into the early 1960s. Though she appeared in featured spots in concert films such as The T.A.M.I. Show (doing the Del Shannon song "Runaway," which she also recorded as a single for 20th Century-Fox Records), Ganley's principal fame derives from her work in a pair of late 1950s horror films. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1939, Ganley was 11 years old when her family moved to Los Angeles. Her acting career began not long after -- among her early uncredited roles, she played one of Eddie Cantor's daughters in The Eddie Cantor Story (1953) and was the 15-year-old Lillian Roth (portrayed as an adult by Susan Hayward) in I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). Amid appearances in various television comedies and anthology series, as well as small roles in jukebox movies like Don't Knock the Rock (1956), Ganley began making much longer-lasting impressions in horror films. She played a key role in the opening sequence of Roger Corman's Not of This Earth (1957), with barely a minute of screen time.
