Actress. Born in Long Beach, California, she moved to Oahu, Hawaii, in 1962 and soon was dancing in the Polynesian dance troop performing at The International Marketplace. Her skill at dancing, especially Tahitian, developed to the point of her winning Tahitian dancing contests and she even appeared on the cover of the Hawaiian Telephone Directory. Her dancing abilities also had her cast as an extra in many TV series being filmed in the Islands. This led her to being featured in multiple roles as a regular on the CBS TV series "Hawaii Five-O", (1968-79) and "Quincy M.E." (1979-80). Her many other television credits include "Eight Is Enough", "L.A. Law", "The New Mike Hammer", "Jake And The Fatman" and "Magnum, P.I." She died at age 49 in Aina Haina, Oahu.
