The daughter of John and Maxine Scott,[1] she settled down in Neosho, Missouri, where she graduated from Neosho High School in 1949.[2] She then went to New York and attended Hunter College.[3]

Her initial experience on stage came when she traveled with a tent show in Missouri.[3] On Broadway she portrayed Susan Dennison in The Wooden Dish (1955) and Rachel Brown in Inherit the Wind (1955).[4]
