My Take

Debra Paget belongs to that golden Hollywood generation I have real affection for. Born Debralee Griffin in Denver in 1933, she worked across film, television and the stage, but it's two 1956 roles that fixed her in history: Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments and Elvis Presley's debut, Love Me Tender. I find it remarkable that she shared the screen with the King in his very first picture. Her snake dance in 1959's The Indian Tomb is the kind of scene people still talk about. She retired relatively young, which leaves me wishing we'd seen even more of her range.

Overview

Debra Paget (born Debralee Griffin; August 19, 1933) is a retired American actress and entertainer. She is perhaps best known for her performances in Cecil B. DeMille's epic The Ten Commandments (1956) and in Elvis Presley's film debut, Love Me Tender (1956), as well as for her snake dance scene in The Indian Tomb (1959).
