[edit] Multitalented

She was born in Hollywood to parents who were immigrants from Italy. She studied art at Los Angeles City College in the 1960s before embarking on her acting career. Vetri is a talented singer and dancer who once turned down the voice dub for Natalie Wood in West Side Story (1961). Of this she remarked I did not want to be known as a standby. She also writes poetry and plays guitar.

[edit] Movie actress

In January 1969 she signed a multi-picture contract with Warner Seven Arts. Vetri was given a starring role in When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth. She refused to have her hair turned blonde from its natural auburn for the film. The story required a blonde so Vetri demanded a wig instead.

Columnist Hy Gardner nominated Vetri as a new sex symbol on the Hollywood horizon in March 1971.

Vetri posed topless for the April 1984 Playboy pictorial "Playmates Forever! Part Two".
