Lisa Seagram (born Ruth Browser; July 7, 1936 – February 1, 2019) was an American actress.[1] She was best known for her roles in Yellow: Le Cugine[2] (1969), The Carpetbaggers (1964) and Caprice (1967).
Life
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Seagram was the daughter of Harry Brower, a New York City police detective. She worked as a graphic artist after graduating from college. Acting on a friend's suggestion, she began working as a model. After someone suggested that she "looked like an actor," she studied drama for three years, which led to a small role in Shadows (1959).[1]
After retiring from acting, Seagram first sold commercial real estate. In the 1980s, she created Actors 2000, teaching acting in Hawaii. She later moved the school to Los Angeles.[1]
Seagram died of dementia in Burbank, California on February 1, 2019 at the age of 82.[3]
