Lisa Gaye(1935-2016)

Her family moved to Los Angeles after her sister Teala was signed to a movie contract by Paramount. Lisa had a screen test at Universal International and signed with them in 1953.

[on working with Steve McQueen in Der Kopfgeldjäger (1958)] We were shooting on the back lot and he asked me if I'd like a ride back to the soundstage, on his motorcycle. So I certainly said, "Sure". I made a big mistake by getting on his motorcycle. We went all over that lot, and not at a slow pace! He didn't slow down--he was always on the cutting edge. We zoomed right up to the soundstage where the doors were closed. He had it arranged that someone inside would open them at the last minute; but I thought we were goners for sure. After that ride, I said, "Thank you"' and never rode with him again.
