Carol Lynley, one of the great American (as distinct from French) “sex kittens” who became famous in the late 50’s, is gone at age 77.
Lynley was featured on the cover of LIFE magazine when she was only 15. I have a copy somewhere that I can scan if I find it. That same year, 1957, Carol appeared in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents that I happened to watch recently. In a strikingly assured performance directed by Robert Altman, Lynley played a precocious 17-year-old who was determined to seduce an older man, played by Vince Edwards.
