Was thinking about her the other day while at work...What happened to her after that series? Didn't she also have a role in another Warner Bros show? (The Alaskans come to mind.)

Yes, she was in "The Alaskans" with Roger Moore, and "Man Without a Gun" with another "The Roaring 20's" co-star, Rex Reason. She was also a moderately successful pop singer in the UK as well.

Sorry to hear of this. Always enjoyed seeing her on the screen. R.I.P.

Interesting, since I hadn't heard anything about her since "The Roaring 20's." I've also found it interesting that her character on "The Alaskans" was named Rocky Shaw; seems like that should have been the name of a male character.

Rocky. Alaska girls are "TOUGH."
