With a career spanning more than thirty years, she starred in around 60 television movies and series.

In her youth, and before settling down, she was close pals with James Dean back when both were unknown to the world – something that came about when Liz worked in New York City nightclubs.

The pair weren’t close pals for long though, because their friendship soon progressed into a relationship, with the actress even releasing a book about her time with the star.

The book was titled Dizzy & Jimmy: My Life with James Dean: A Love Story.

In the book she details how they were both each other’s ‘first romantic love’.

“We had great times… We didn’t want to be apart. We found a place and lived together… before he really hit it big,” she said.

Recalling when the pair called time on their romance, she once said in an interview: “He was being hauled away into this career, and I couldn’t follow him.”

The book that Liz penned about her and James Dean’s passionate romance is being turned into a feature film.

She later found love with Dale Wales, whom she married in 1985; but he sadly died in 2003.

Liz shared her life with Dale from 1960 until his death, with the pair welcoming a daughter who is now a photographer.
