Discovered by Alfred Hitchcock for his 1950s TV series, she followed this co-starring with John Wayne in John Ford's 'The Searchers' and playing opposite Henry Fonda in Hitchcock's 'The Wrong Man'. After angering Hitch when she couldn't appear in his classic 'Vertigo'(replaced by Kim Novak), her career took a different turn, with lesser roles in Hitchcock's 'Psycho' and Ford's 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance', leading to her regular stints as the resident mother character in a number of 1960s family-friendly Disney films.
