Lola Albright appeared in "Branded" 3 times as Ann Williams - 'Kellie' - 'Cowards Die Many Times' - 'Mightier than the Sword'

Near the end of the second season, a format change was instituted to set up a third season. The Bitter Creek plotline was dropped to make McCord more of a family man - with a steady girlfriend (Ann Williams), adopted daughter (Kellie) and joining a surveying firm run by his dad. It was not to be.

In spite OK ratings, "Branded" was discharged at the end of year two.

Her popularity as sultry, dusky-voiced nightclub singer Edie Hart on TV's "Peter Gunn" (1958) series inspired two record albums, "Lola Wants You" and "Dreamsville"
