	Actors - Elizabeth Allen

Elizabeth Allen was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on January 25, 1934 and christened Elizabeth Ellen Gillease, of Irish extraction. She was married to and divorced from a real-life Baron, one Baron Carl von Vittinghoff-Schell. She was twice nominated for Tony Awards from her performances on Broadway.

The darkly, coolly attractive actress is perhaps best known on TV for her role as the creepy saleslady in the episode of The Twilight Zone where actress Anne Francis (playing 'Miss Marsha White') finally realizes that she is a mannequin and that her month of freedom and living amongst the humans is over. Allen's saleslady (seen by no one but Marsha) character is the mannequin whose turns is up next and has already been delayed by one full day, explaining her slightly peeved attitude.

Allen quietly retired from show business in 1982, after appearing in the TV series Texas for two seasons, probably from her recollections of dealing with Paul Lynde's meltdown behind the scenes on The Paul Lynde Show, in which she unfortunately found herself cast from 1972-1973.
