in the 1947 film Carnegie Hall, but had her first real role
in Robert Aldrich’s film noir classic Kiss Me Deadly,[11] re-
leased in 1955. Leachman was several months pregnant
during the filming, and appears in one scene running
down a darkened highway wearing only a trenchcoat. A
year later she appeared opposite Paul Newman and Lee
Marvin in The Rack (1956). She appeared with Newman
again, in a brief role as a prostitute in Butch Cassidy and
the Sundance Kid (1969).
She continued to work mainly in television, with ap-
pearances in Rawhide and in The Twilight Zone episode
It’s a Good Life. During this period, Leachman notably ap-
peared on the popular anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents
in an engaging episode entitled "Premonition" opposite
John Forsythe. Later in the decade, Leachman appeared
as Ruth Martin, Timmy’s adoptive mom, in the last half
of season four (1957) of Lassie. Jon Provost ("Timmy
Martin") said, "Cloris did not feel particularly challenged
by the role. Basically, when she realized that all she’d be
doing was baking cookies, she wanted out."[12] She was
replaced by June Lockhart in 1958. In 1959, she appeared
in an episode of One Step Beyond titled "The Dark Room",
where she portrayed an American photographer living in
Paris. In 1960 she played Marilyn Parker, the roommate
