Judi Meredith BOUTIN

Notes:

They lived together in Encino, Calif., until 1998 then resided in both Chicago and Palm Beach, Fla., until finally settling in Las Vegas in 2002. At 15, Judi was a professional ice skater in the Ice Follies until 1951 when she suffered a serious skiing accident which ended her skating career. Soon after, George Burns "discovered" her at the Pasadena Play House and asked her to join the cast of the Burns and Allen Show. Judi went on to co-star and star, under the name Judi MEREDITH, in numerous television shows and films, many of which were memorable such as: Summer Love, Jack the Giant Killer, Night Walker, Queen of Blood, Gunsmoke, Have Gun will Travel, Wagon Train, Bonanza and Hawaii Five-O to name a few. It was on Hotel de Paree where she met a then young assistant director named Gary Nelson. Not long after, Judi agreed to star on the TV show "Have Gun Will Travel" for free if Gary would be allowed to direct. Once married, her new husband proclaimed that "there would be only one professional in the house" thus slowly supplanting Judi's acting career with his directing career. - See more at: http://obits.oregonlive.com/obituaries/oregon/obituary.aspx?pid=170972529#sthash.niQwNTm2.dpuf
