R.I.P.: Diane McBain

[sliderocker]

Actress Diane McBain, who got her start at age 17 with Warner Bros., first appearing in commercials and then making her debut in a 1959 episode of Maverick, has died at age 81 from liver cancer. Ms. McBain also appeared in a number of other Warner TV series, most notably Surfside 6. She made her movie debut in the 1960 Richard Burton movie Ice Palace, and co-starred with Elvis Presley in Spinout. In many of her roles, she was known for playing not so nice women, roles she didn't really like playing. She wanted to play the ingenues as she lamented audiences tended to think an actor or actress was the kind of person you played on the screen. She is survived by her son, Evan.
