From 1957 to 1962, Nolan starred on the popular sitcom "The Real McCoys," playing Kate, the wife of Luke McCoy, played by actor Richard Crenna. Over five decades after the hit show ended, the actress remains the epitome of beauty.

At only 13 months old, she first made an appearance on stage on the showboat "Goldenrod."
