About Phyllis Davis
Phyllis Ann Davis was an American actress who appeared primarily on television. She co-starred on the 1978β1981 dramatic detective series Vega$ as Beatrice Travis, office manager, and girl Friday for the show's main character, Las Vegas private detective Dan Tanna, played by Robert Urich.
Davis considered Port Arthur, Texas, her hometown. Growing up, she and her family lived at her parentsβ mortuary business, in their home on the second floor. Davis recalled that when a funeral service was being held, the Davis children had to be very quiet on the second floor. After graduating in 1958 from Nederland High School, Davis attended Lamar University. After working as a secretary and as a flight attendant for Continental Airlines, she moved to Los Angeles in 1965. While in Los Angeles, Davis attended acting classes at the Pasadena Playhouse.
Davis's feature films include The Big Bounce (1969), Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), Sweet Sugar (1972), Terminal Island (1973), The Day of the Dolphin (1973), The Choirboys (1977), The Wild Women of Chastity Gulch (1982), and Guns (1990). In 1975, she played Scarlett O'Hara, the character originally played by Vivien Leigh in the 1939 movie Gone With the Wind, in Train Ride to Hollywood, a pop musical starring the R&B band Bloodstone. Davis explained that the movie was "all a dream sequence," as the storyline involves Bloodstone singer Harry Williams losing consciousness from a head injury and dreaming that he and his bandmates are on a train bound for Los Angeles with famous actors and characters from Old Hollywood's Golden Age. "I played Scarlett O'Hara and had a ball," Davis remembered.
Davis appeared in guest roles on the prime-time series Love, American Style (1969) for five seasons. She also appeared in television series such as Knight Rider, in which she played the villainous Tanya Walker in the pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Davis also had guest roles in Magnum, P.I., The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and The Wild Wild West. She was in an episode of Adam-12 titled "You Blew It" in 1969. She was also a Match Game panelist on occasion and, during her tenure on ABC's Vega$, appeared on a Battle of the Network Stars special.

Few women in history have been as gorgeous as Ms. Davis. Unfortunately she passed away young.

She died at the age of 73. There are infants who don't even make it to their first birthday. I'd say she lived a very full life...
