Professionally spelled her name both ways...
wiki says "A model and actress, Lansing was often cast in roles similar to
those played by her contemporaries Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren. She
frequently was clad in skimpy costumes and bikinis that accentuated her figure
(34D bust), but she never posed nude. Lansing practiced yoga for relaxation, and
as a devout Mormon, she did not drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, or use other
drugs.
Death
Lansing died from breast cancer on August 7, 1972, at St. John's Hospital, Santa
Monica, California. She had been treated surgically for the disease two years
earlier. She also suffered from severe anemia. She was survived by her mother,
half-brother, and paternal grandmother. While some press accounts gave her age
as 37, she was actually 43 years old.
She achieved some distinction for beating out Lois Lane (Noel Neill) to marry
Superman (George Reeves) as the title character in "Superman's Wife", a 1958
episode of The Adventures of Superman.
