Biography
Rialson was born in Santa Monica, California, won Miss Hermosa Beach aged 18 and worked as a go-go dancer. After appearing in a series of exploitation films (such as Candy Stripe Nurses, Chatterbox, and Summer School Teachers), Rialson found herself typecast as a sex kitten, and had difficulty obtaining new roles, although she did work sporadically on television. Her last role was in the 1978 political thriller Winter Kills. According to one obituary, "although never reluctant to take her clothes off, Rialson was always more "cutie" than sleazy, but she became so notorious for her B-movie work that mainstream directors hesitated to hire her". She retired from acting to become a wife and mother and died of liver disease on March 31, 2006.
