I think she was her sexiest in Not of This Earth.

Best movie? Off the top of my head, probably The Joker is Wild.

No blah, blah, blah!

She was great in Alligator People, especially the scene when she was running in the swamp in the rain. She was also very good in the other 3 you mentioned, along with a Roger Corman western called Gunslinger (she cleans up the town and has a cat-fight with Allison Hayes).

That scene is funny. Somehow her dress rips perfectly above her knee.

I love the very young Garland in two of her earliest screen roles: an unbilled "bit" in the George Cukor-directed Lana Turner vehicle, A Life of Her Own, and, of course, in the legendary cult film, D.O.A., billed as "Beverly Campbell". And no one has mentioned her ground-breaking starring role on television's Police Woman: Decoy.

She kicked axx in "Gunslinger" (1956) as the female sheriff.
