Elizabeth

 Although Elizabeth would get her big break on her father’s television series, before that she went through 11 years of schooling, first at the Westlake School for Girls and then a year at New York’s Spence School, from which she graduated in 1951. As she commented to The Los Angeles Times in 1954, “I’m sure I gave many of my Westlake teachers gray hairs, because the only things I could concentrate on were studies relating to dramatics. Acting was and is my main objective in life.” Which she got to prove when there was a part for someone to play her father’s daughter in an episode of Robert Montgomery Presents. Said Elizabeth, “It was the chance I had been waiting for. I figured it was tailor-made for me, because who could put more into the role than a real-life daughter?”
