Doris J. Gildart (1933-2020) was a model who appeared in numerous movies, television series, and pictorials throughout the 1950's. She discovered her love of theater in 1946 after starring in Let Me Grown Up at John Burroughs's Middle School.
After graduating from Burbank High School, she did regional theater by starring in the stage production of Grand Guignol at The Playmakers before modeling apparel. She was a finalist in the Queen of the Valley, Queen of the Home Show, and Miss Universe pageants.
She achieved stardom after being cast on Jack Bailey's Queen for a Day where she modeled housewares and awarded gifts to the contestants. In addition to her talents as an actress, she was a generous person as well. She -in what was a highly-publicized event- raised a lot of money for the March of Dimes by selling
"kisses" for $1. As Doris Wolfe, she died in 2021 at a retirement community after a brief illness at the age of 90. She was survived by her sons.
