Biography

She was born Sally Bliss in Carthage, New York. Her father had moved the family from Ohio and was a science teacher at Carthage High School. In 1927, the family moved to Amityville, Long Island. She attended drama school in Rhode Island and at age 17, she was invited to Hollywood by Howard Hughes, who she did not meet until about a year later. She signed with his studio and dated Hughes a few times as well. He also had her stage name changed to Carla Balenda and this is how she was credited until 1957, when she decided to change it back to her real name. Just before she was 19, she married a WWII pilot, John Martin, and they stayed together for fifteen years, having two boys from the union before divorcing in 1959. Six years later, she married prominent California attorney and author William Rutter, who wanted her to be home with her children. She left acting and later became involved in volunteer charity work. Her husband passed away in 2012. She has thirteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and as of 2021, she was residing in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, California.
