Fay Spain (October 6, 1932 – May 8, 1983) was an American actress in motion pictures and television.

Biography

Au cinéma, à partir de 1957, Fay Spain contribue à dix-huit films, majoritairement américains ; le dernier est Le Parrain 2 de Francis Ford Coppola, sorti en 1974, où elle est l'épouse d’Hyman Roth (interprété par Lee Strasberg). S'y ajoutent la coproduction franco-italienne Hercule à la conquête de l'Atlantide (1961, avec Reg Park et Ettore Manni), le film brésilien Choque de sentimentos (1965, avec Bruce Cabot) et la coproduction américano-brésilienne The Gentle Rain (1966, avec Christopher George).

Son rôle le plus connu au grand écran reste sans doute celui de Darling Jill, dans Le Petit Arpent du bon Dieu d'Anthony Mann (1958, avec Robert Ryan et Aldo Ray).

À la télévision, Fay Spain participe à soixante-huit séries (particulièrement dans le domaine du western) dès 1955, dont Maverick (quatre épisodes, 1957-1961, avec James Garner), Rawhide (trois épisodes, 1959-1962, avec Clint Eastwood) et Mannix (deux épisodes, 1967-1972, avec Mike Connors). Elle collabore aussi à deux téléfilms diffusés en 1959.

Elle tient son dernier rôle au petit écran dans un épisode, diffusé en 1975, de la série policière Sergent Anderson (avec Angie Dickinson dans le rôle-titre), après quoi elle se retire.

Widower Ty Ty Walden (Robert Ryan) and his two daughters live in the backwoods of Georgia during the Great Depression (although the film appears to be set in the 1950s, since many of the cars are 1950s vintage). While Ty Ty searches for gold on his farm, his son-in-law Will (Aldo Ray) cheats on his wife Rosamund (Helen Westcott) with Griselda (Tina Louise). Ty Ty has been digging for gold on his land for 15 years. Pluto Swint (Buddy Hackett) arrives to announce he's running for sheriff. Swint is invited to come around back where Darlin' Jill (Fay Spain) is taking a bath in an outdoor bathtub positioned near a handpump and spigot. She asks him to pump some more water (the camera never dips lower than the top of the tub). He is asked to keep his eyes closed, but takes a pleasurable peek.
