Episodes of Surfside 6 often featured Sierra singing, usually in English, but occasionally in Spanish. "The Cha Cha Twist", a song featured during the show's second and final season, was released as a single on Warner Bros. Records, but did not enter the Billboard Top 100 chart.

Sierra died in Hollywood, California, in 1963 at the age of 27, from complications following heart surgery performed a day earlier.[1] She is interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City.
