Saundra Edwards was born in Los Angeles, California in 1938 and had two children prior to meeting Tom Gilson. Steven was adopted by Tom and Saundra currently lives in Yucca Valley, California. Contrary to popular belief, Saundra's career did not end abruptly after Tom's death, but rather she was offered a 6 movie deal that would have been more lucrative than her contract with Warner Brothers. However, she refused the deal as it would have required her children to be sent to boarding schools, and in the wake of Tom's death, she chose to walk away from Hollywood.

Biography/Timeline

1957

Edwards was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the March 1957 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Peter Gowland. Her name is usually spelled Saundra Edwards.

1961

Edwards married actor Tom Gilson on December 8, 1961, and had a son named Thomas S. Gilson, Jr., who was born the same day. She separated from him in August 1962 when he became abusive, after which she moved in with her sister and brother-in-law. On October 6, 1962, Edwards killed Gilson with a shotgun blast through the heart when he broke into the house where she was staying. A coroner's jury later ruled the shooting as justifiable homicide. The scandal, however, abruptly ended her acting career.

2014

In addition to her modeling career for Playboy and other men's magazines, Edwards, who is part Cherokee, was a showgirl in Las Vegas. Her acting credits—she was a contract player at Warner Bros.—include a few films like The Crowded Sky (1960), Parrish (1961), A Fever in the Blood (1961), and many television roles in programs such as Sugarfoot, Hawaiian Eye, Cheyenne, and Maverick.
