Bennye Gatteys

Bennye Gatteys (born November 20, 1940) is an American singer and actress who appeared in many anthology television series and soap operas. Gatteys grew up in Dallas, Texas. The unusual spelling of her first name is because her parents originally wanted a boy. Her first big break in television came at the age of 16, during her appearance in the television anthology series Look Up and Live, in which she co-starred opposite a then-teenaged Warren Beatty. She eventually married a banker from Texas and returned to Dallas for seven years, during which time her career remained dormant. After her divorce, she moved to Los Angeles to restart her acting career in soap operas, including a starring role in Days of Our Lives as Susan Martin. Her career continued largely in the field of theater, soap operas, and occasional variety and game shows, until she retired from show business in 1977. (Source: Wikipedia)
