Biography

Kimberly Beck's early career in the entertainment industry began in 1965, when she landed the role of Kim, the deaf-mute daughter of David Shuster, portrayed by the talented William Smithers, and Doris Shuster, expertly played by Gail Kobe, in the highly acclaimed and popular television series "Peyton Place". This pivotal role marked the beginning of her journey as a talented young actress, as she quickly became a household name and a familiar face to American audiences.

As Kim, she found herself at the center of a dramatic and suspenseful storyline, where she becomes the sole witness to the tragic accidental death of Joe Chernak, played by Don Quine. However, as the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that Joe's death was not an accident, but rather a premeditated murder. The ensuing trial sends shockwaves through the small town, ultimately leading to the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of Rodney Harrington, played by the renowned Ryan O'Neal.
