Born Debralee Griffin on August 19, 1933 in Denver Colorado, Debra Paget’s acting career began as a teenager, making her film debut at 15 in Cry of the City (1948). She went on to star in westerns, swashbucklers, and period pieces over a career that lasted until the early 1960s, when she retired after marrying a Chinese millionaire. As IMDb notes, Paget’s trademarks were her “sultry, seductive gaze” and “petite, trim and incredibly sexy figure.” Both of these trademarks are on full display in one of cinema’s sexiest moments, the iconic snake dance routine in The Indian Tomb (1959). To this day, one of the hottest scenes ever captured on film, thanks to the way Paget wields her astonishing body during one mesmerizing gyration after another. At just 5’2” tall, Paget maximized every single inch.
Paget’s sultry and seductive trademarks are also fully evident in the images below. We recommend you view them with a big glass of your favorite cold beverage nearby, because Paget will most definitely raise the room temperature by at least twenty degrees.
