(1962), Girl Happy (1965), The Day of the Locust (1975), Serial (1980), Chained Heat (1983), Fraternity Vacation (1985), and Puppet Master II (1991).
Talbol appeared in many TV series such as Joe and Mabel (1956). She received an Emmy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the 1967–68 season of Hogan’s Heroes.
Talbot was married twice—first to actor Don Gordon (1954-1958; divorced) and then to actor Thomas A. Geas (1961, until their divorce, year unknown). She has one child, a daughter, with second husband Thomas Geas.
