Paula Raymond (November 23 1924 -December 31 2003)
was a model who entered films as a stock actress.
In 1950, she was put under contract by MGM, where
she played opposite such leading men as Cary Grant
and Dick Powell. Earlier in her career, Raymond
acted in film noir thrillers such as City That
Never Sleeps (with Gig Young and Marie Windsor),
but later in her career she developed a horror
film reputation.  In 1952, she played the heroine
in The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. In the late
1950s and 1960 Raymond appeared in a number of
television shows and low-budget horror movies
including Blood of Dracula's Castle (1967) with
Alexander D'Arcy and John Carradine. In 1962,
Raymond was a passenger in a car that crashed into
a tree on Sunset Boulevard. Her nose was severed
by the rear view mirror.  After only a little more
than a year of extensive plastic surgery and
recovery she returned to acting.
In 1977, while working on the soap opera "Days of
Our Lives", after only three appearances, she
accidentally tripped on a telephone cord and broke
her ankle. She was written out of the show.  She
turned down the role of saloon keeper "Kitty
Russell" in the long-running western classic
series "Gunsmoke."
