 In an interview with Dick Kleiner published 21 Feb 1968, she says that as a girl her first attempts at cooking were not successful:<blockquote>She made a batch of fudge and it was so bad she threw it away.  And the chickens got it, and three of them died.</blockquote>

 The marriage ended in a 1955 Nevada divorce.  While fulfilling her residency requirement for a "quickie" divorce in Nevada, Elizabeth was also commuting to Hollywood for the shooting of ''The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell'' starring Gary Cooper, which was her own film debut.</td></tr></table>

 In a 1958 interview with columnist Bill Fiset, Elizabeth said:<blockquote>"...having been brought up in an atmosphere heavily scented with the acting profession, I sort of fell into the mold.  My parents felt it was up to me to choose my field of endeavor.  I'm glad it worked out that way.  I made my own decision and I'm very happy."</blockquote>
-She was in the 1958 television presentation "live from New York" of ''Harvey'' starring Art Carney, which had already been a hit on Broadway.  A special guest star in this show as [[Marion Lorne]], who would later become Bewitched's "Aunt Clara".
