Lita Milan
Biography
Lita Milan is an actress whose Hollywood career was brief and confined to the 1950s. Born in New York City as Iris Menshell and raised in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood, she trained in dance as a child and broke into show business as a chorine on Las Vegas stages, picking up extra work as a magazine cover girl for publications such as Photo and Night & Day. In Hollywood she was named a Wampas Baby Star in 1956 and went straight into films, where she was soon typecast as a fiery senorita in outdoor adventures including The Ride Back (1957) and Naked in the Sun (1957). Her most attention-getting part came opposite Paul Newman in the Billy the Kid western The Left Handed Gun (1958). She abandoned her career in 1958.
