I have never seen or heard of that movie until now.  I seem to remember her in a couple of Westerns; I see 100 Rifles and Bandolero! on her movie list. 

One Million B.C. was the most memorable growing up since it had monsters and girls in fur bikinis.  That is probably the movie I think of when her name comes up.  Looks like it is one of her earliest movies.

It was best known to us since it came out in 1976 when the Fire Department sponsored me for EMT training, and all of us trainees went out as a group to the theater to watch this movie about EMTs.

I think she's better known for other movies, like One Million Years BC, Fantastic Voyage, Fathom, and (as already mentioned) a couple of westerns.

Saw her just a couple of years ago being interviewed on TV and thought she looked pretty good for her age - but I could tell she wasn't a young bombshell any more. Time catches up to us all.

I remember her fondly from The Three Musketeers and the Four Musketeers with Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Charlton Heston, and Michael York.

Fun movies.

I heard some of the stars didn't even know they'd done the Four Musketeers - seems their contract said something like the "Musketeer Project" and they shot enough film that they were able to splice the cuttings together and make a second movie . . . without paying the talent for the second movie.

I looked up the trailer for that movie.  Maybe it is the way the narrator did the lines as if it was a (very long) radio announcement, but it didn't make me want to go watch it.

^^^1976 was a different time and we were more easily amused without the Internet.
