Life

Acting on a friend's suggestion, she began working as a model. After someone suggested that she "looked like an actor", she studied drama for three years, which led to a small role in Shadows (1959).[3]
After retiring from acting, Seagram first sold commercial real estate. In the 1980s, she created Actors 2000, teaching acting in Hawaii. She later moved the school to Los Angeles.[3]
