Sandy Descher

She was "discovered" at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while on vacation with her parents. Director Gordon Douglas, who was shooting the film, La Charge sur la rivière rouge (1953), at a nearby location, saw her at a lodge's dining room and asked if he could use her in his movie. Her parents declined, saying they had to be traveling on, but they accepted Douglas's card and later gave him a call upon their return to California.
