Her untamed desires will bring scandal to the Gregory family and lead to tragedy."B" movie star Joyce Compton, whose lengthy career included roles in Imitation Of Life (1946) and They Drive By Night (1940), gives a performance as Sheila Bailey that still shocks.

Talbot's long distinguished career in movies and TV spanned five decades.
