Gigi Perreau

Gigi Perreau, born February 6, 1941 in Los Angeles, California as Ghislaine Elizabeth Marie Thérèse Perreau-Saussine, had great success as a child actress, but this did not carry forward into a substantial film career as she grew up. She did, however, have supporting roles in the 1959 sitcom "The Betty Hutton Show" on CBS, (with her older brother Gerald), and in the "Follow the Sun" television series on ABC from 1961-1962, in which she played secretary Katherine Ann "Kathy" Richards.

She appeared in 1960 on ABC's "Stagecoach West" as young woman eloping with her boyfriend, with a mysterious stranger in pursuit of the couple.

Gerald (stage names Peter Miles and Richard Miles) and, to a lesser extent, her younger sisters Janine and Lauren, also had a measure of success in film and on television.

She retired from acting in 1967. She was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in television.

Perreau is an alumna of Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles and has taught drama classes there.
