[edit] Background
Born in San Luis Obispo, California as Jacqueline Katherine Browne she appeared in many films and TV shows such as Star Trek: The Original Series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, Ironside, Hazel, My Favorite Martian, The Wild Wild West, Rawhide, Fantasy Island,The Rockford Files The Love Boat, Sea Hunt, 77 Sunset Strip, Have Gun - Will Travel, and Kolchak: The Night Stalker (with husband Darren McGavin).
After making guest appearances during the second and third seasons of "Bonanza", Browne returned to the show in the fifth season in a different role: Laura Dayton, a widowed mother who is courted by Adam Cartwright (Pernell Roberts). The role was created with the expectation that Roberts would be leaving the series at the end of the season, allowing for his character to make a convenient exit. However, when Roberts unexpectedly renewed his contract for another year, the show's writers created a storyline in which Laura and Adam's cousin, Will Cartwright, (played by Guy Williams) fall in love and leave to get married.

Browne appeared in such films as Murder by Contract (1958), Cinderfella (1960), and Brainstorm (1965).
