Biography

Betty Lou Keim, a talented actress, was born in the year 1938 in Malden, Massachusetts, a city located in the northeastern United States.

She made her television debut in 1953 as Peggy Allison in the series "My Son Jeep", a show that was popular during its time.

Before transitioning to film, Betty appeared on several television shows, including "The Philco Television Playhouse" in 1948 and "The Alcoa Hour" in 1955.

In 1956, she took on two movie roles, starring in "These Wilder Years" and "Teenage Rebel", both released that same year.
