Life and career
Suellyn Lyon was born in Davenport, Iowa, on July 10, 1946. She was the youngest of five children and her father died before her first birthday. Sue Karr Lyon, her mother, and the family followed her to Dallas and then Los Angeles soon after.
When she was 14 years old, she appeared in Stanley Kubrick's film Lolita (1962), starring James Mason. The book's creator, Nabokov, characterized her as the "perfect nymphet." In Vladimir Nabokov's book Lolita, she was selected for the role partially because the film makers had to reduce the age of the protagonist to an older adolescent rather than the 12-year-old child Lolita. Despite Kubrick's film changing the plot so as not to breach the Hollywood Production Code, it was still one of the day's most controversial films.
Lyon was 15 when the film premiered in June 1962, but she was still too young to watch it. She became a household name and was nominated for Most Promising Newcomer—Female, a Golden Globe Award. She performed two songs on the film, the MGM 45-rpm record being released. On side A, the song "Lolita Ya Yay" (Riddle-Harris) appeared, and "Turn Off the Moon" (Stillman-Harris) appeared, and "Turn Off the Moon") appeared on side B.
In John Huston's The Night of the Irmun (1964), Lyon was cast as a seductive teen fighting for the affections of disgraced preacher Richard Burton against Deborah Kerr and Ava Gardner. In 7 Women (1965), director John Ford's last film, she appeared as a mission worker. Lyon appeared in The Flim-Flam Man (1967), a female lead in the comedy The Flim-Flam Man (1967) and appeared in Tony Rome (1967), which starred Frank Sinatra. In the film Evel Knievel (1971), she played the wife of daredevil Evel Knievel. She was relegated to mainly secondary positions by the 1970s. In her last film, she played a news reporter in Alligator (1980).
