The 18-year-old lovely has aspirations of becoming a dramatic actress so, when she's not working with Tab Hunter in TV Western series or going to 20th Century-Fox training school or playing with pet kitten Spottie, above, Karen spends time studying scripts, right, at home, 7702 Coldwater Canyon Blvd., Panorama City."; See images #00109192 through #00109194 for all photos in this series.
