Biography

The daughter of actress Jeanne Baird, Meyerink became a model when she was two and a half years old. Although she received a season-long contract to perform on The Danny Kaye Show, she left the program after the laughter of the audience began to upset her.[3]

She went on to co-star with Anne Francis in Brainstorm, with Clint Walker in The Night of the Grizzly and with Elvis Presley in Speedway. On television she guest-starred on such notable shows as Green Acres, My Three Sons and Family Affair.
