"The Big Sky" was Elizabeth Threatt's only film. Threatt was an established model who was sought for the part because of her Native American ancestry. However, she learned to despise Hollywood, saying it was "full of fakes," and never acted again.
Elizabeth DeContandes died in November 1993, alone in nursing home.
She married shortly after getting her first modeling job, with her daughter coming along in 1947.
Graduated from Concord High School (North Carolina) in 1943.
