Diane McBain (born May 18, 1941) is an American actress who, as a Warner Brothers contract actress, experienced a brief burst of fame in the early 1960s.
She is best known for her role as one of Elvis Presley's top female in 1966's Spinout, and for playing an adventurous socialite in the 1960-62 television series Surfside 6 and as one of Elvis Presley's top women.
Post-Warners career
Wendy and Me, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Burke's Law (a number of times), The Wild West, The Man from UNCLE and Vacation Playhouse were among McBain's guest stars on Arrest and Trial.
She had been cast in the films Spring Is for Crying and Halcyon Years, but neither was made. She received a Five from the Hawk in Spain.
Later, McBain said, "I was very stupid about money." "My mother used to make my clothes, and I was embarrassed about it." I became a shopaholic and spent a fortune on store-bought clothes. Tammy Bakker has most likely imitated my shopping and eyelashes.
Work began to dwindle. "With the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, we were going through a revolution in society," she said. "Now, white Anglo-Saxons, pretty people were low on the totem pole." We were supposed to be on the other hand, conservatives who were the source of the war and the civil rights crisis. Yes, Dustin Hoffman. No. Troy Donahue, no. Nobody wanted beautiful people on the television. On an average, they wanted people like them. "I didn't get much work."
McBain's parents reported her missing in August 1965. It turned out she had checked herself into a San Diego hotel under the name "Marilyn Miller" for "a change of appearances, scenery, and attitudes." I just wanted to be Miss Nobody from Nowhere," the singer says. She said she was dissatisfied with slackening earnings and not getting the kind of roles she desired.
In Spinout (1966), she was Elvis Presley's leading lady, along Shelley Fabares and Deborah Walley. She appeared on Batman as a guest star.
Fabian Forte and American International Pictures (1967), directed by Richard Rush, and Maryjane (1968), directed by Maury Dexter, were two films made by McBain. Dexter then placed McBain in the lead of AIP's The Mini-Skirt Mob (1968), a hit at the box office.
In I Sailed to Tahiti with an All Girl Crew (1968), McBain helped Gardner McKay (1969) aka The Sidehackers. Tippi Hedren and Joey Bishop toured Vietnam in 1968.
McBain slowed her career somewhat to care for her son Evan, but she did continue to appear in a number of television series. "I never really worried about superstardom; rather, I was concerned about the roles that were open to those who were famous," she later explained. "I was encouraged to continue on in the face of complete failure because I had a child to rear on my own with no assistance from his father." Acting was the easiest way for me to make money and the best way for me to be a more present mom in my son's life. Full-time employees brought in money, but my child's day-to-day life kept me away from his day-to-day routine."
McBain's guest appeared on Love, American Style, Mannix, Mannix, Mannix, To Rome with Love, Land of the Giants, and Mod Squad.
She appeared in the films The Delta Factor (1970), The Wild Season (1971), Huyendo del halcón (1973), Wicked (1973), and The Deathhead Virgin (1974), which she later described as "the stupidest screenplay I've ever had to work with."
Marcus Welby, M.D., was also on the TV series The Wide World of Mystery, Police Story, Barbary Coast, and Marcus Welby, M.D.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, McBain was riding Donner Pass: The Road to Survivor (1978) The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, Charlie's Angels, Eight Is Enough, Six Is Enough, Crazy Like a Fox, and Knight Rider. She also worked in regional theatre for a long time.
McBain was beat, robbed, and raped by two men in her garage at 1.30 a.m. on Christmas Day after she returned home from a party. She began her work as a rape victim advisor in her second career.
They never found the perpetrators. "The shock of what happened caused memory loss, inability to concentrate, and I'm also starting out of proportion," she said in 1990.
Besotted (2001) and Strong Medicine, McBain appeared in Jake and the Fatman 5 (1994), Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Dr. Quinn, Invisible Mother II, The Young and the Restless, The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2001) and Strong Medicine.
She was in a TV film Cab to Canada (1998), which she said "was enough to make me not want to act again."
In 1990, she was looking for funding for her film "The Spilling Moon," about the first woman to walk along the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
