She seemed to fit the typical Hollywood star profile, but she was not the typical Hollywood star. Blond, bright, and beautiful, Inger Stevens possessed a tantalizing appeal that was defined by both her above-average appearance and intelligence. It was a sad ending to the life and career of a promising actress and a sweet but clearly complex human being.

Stevens also starred in feature films including Hang 'Em High, which starred Clint Eastwood, and was released in 1968.
