An acting career was always in the cards for Debra Paget (nee Debralee Griffin) and her siblings, coming from a show biz family and being the offspring of a "stage mother" anxious to get her kids into the movies. Paget's sister Teala Loring got her mo vie breaks in the 1940s, Lisa Gaye was a film and TV star in the '50s and '60s, and even brother Frank (acting as Ruell Shayne) landed some film jobs. Paget got a 20th Century-Fox contract at age 14 and her first role in the film noir "Cry of the City" (1948), her first of nearly 20 movies at the studios, mostly Westerns, swashbucklers and period musicals. Every inch (all five-foot-two of her) the Hollywood star, Paget retired from the screen after marrying a Chinese millionaire in 1962. Tom Weaver <TomWeavr@aol.com> Trivia:
She took her screen name from Lord and Lady Paget of England, UK.
