Ruta Lee was a contract player at Warners when she was but 21, trading rimshots with Jim Garner and Jack Kelly on "Maverick" with the aplomb of an old pro - no mean feat.
After 5 years, she went over to Universal for another 5 years of contract work in the heyday of series TV.
I remember when she appeared on "Hollywood Squares." She and Ann Jillian were the two stars Lithuanians recall with fondness.
Ruta Lee has always been active in the Lithuanian community. When Mr. Irene and I visited Mr. Irene's uncle, Ignas, in Los Angeles, we went to the Lithuanian parish for mass, and Ruta Lee was in attendance.

At 77, she still looks good.

Good for her.
Probably one of the reasons she kept her standards over the years.
