In Hollywood from her early twenties, the actress, born Wilma Jeanne Cooper, made her debut in The Redhead from Wyoming (1952). Subsequent films included The Man from the Alamo (1953), The Naked Street (1955), Over-Exposed (1956), 5 Steps to Danger (1957), Plunder Road (1957), Unwed Mother (1958), Let No Man Write My Epitaph (1960), House of Women (1962), The Glory Guys (1965), Tony Rome (1967), The Boston Strangler (1968), There Was a Crooked Man... (1970), Kansas City Bomber (1972), then much TV until Lethal Justice (1991), Frozen Assets (1992), The Tomorrow Man (2002), Carpool Guy (2005) and Donna on Demand (2009), her last. The actors Corbin Bernsen and Collin Bernsen are her sons.
