Roberta Shore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roberta Jymme Schourop (born April 7, 1943, Monterey Park, California), better known as Roberta Shore, is an American actress and performer, most famous for her youthful television and movie roles in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Though never a Mouseketeer, Shore co-starred in several Walt Disney productions featuring the Mouseketeers, and thus came to be associated with them. She appeared as Annette Funicello's rival Laura Rogan in Annette's self-titled series, and as French-speaking Franceska in The Shaggy Dog.
Aside from Disney, Shore had a featured role in the 1959 screen version of Blue Denim, duetting with Warren Berlinger, and an uncredited cameo appearance in A Summer Place, as Sandra Dee's gossipy schoolmate. Later she played Ricky Summers in the 1960 movie Because They're Young, and had another uncredited role, in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 version of Lolita.
Shore's television credits include an appearance on Playhouse 90, The Donna Reed Show, several Western series including Maverick, Wagon Train, and Laramie, a regular role on The New Bob Cummings Show, and as Betsy Garth on The Virginian.
After the mid-1960s, Shore did little in the way of movies or television. She emerged in 1984 as a radio disc jockey and program host in Salt Lake City, Utah. She also played the wife of Ishmael in a 2004 movie adaptation of the Book of Mormon.
