Francine had been a model in
San Francisco and made a couple of minor film appearances when she was
discovered by Jerry Lewis, who got her a part in his film, It's Only
Money (1962). She eventually made appearances in six of his films,
including The Nutty Professor.
Her appearance in Tickle
Me was as part of a short series of scenes in which Elvis is
"helping out" various ladies around the ranch, and in each scene,
Jocelyn Lane
walks up and asks "Strictly business?" Such are the subtle plot-twists of
an Elvis movie! Francine is the girl that Elvis is teaching archery.
(Her big line: "...like this?")
Francine also made quite an
impression on the Batman TV series as Lydia Limpet, the shapely
sidekick to one of Batman's tamer villains, The Bookworm (Roddy
McDowell). Since then, Francine has kept busy in both films and
television appearances, recently appearing on "Lois and Clark" and
"Beverly Hills 90210". She also appeared in the Nicolas Cage film,
Family Man! Check out Francine's official site for more info!
