Sue Lyon

Lyon in the film ''[[Tony Rome]]'' (1967) Suellyn Lyon (July 10, 1946 – December 26, 2019) was an American actress who is most famous today for playing Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film adaptation of Nabokov's eponymous novel, for which she was awarded a Golden Globe.

Lyon's early career flourished with appearances in such high-profile films as John Huston's ''The Night of the Iguana'' (1964), John Ford's ''7 Women'' (1966), the Frank Sinatra detective film ''Tony Rome'' (1967), and the George C. Scott comedy ''The Flim Flam Man'' (1967), but her career dropped off in the 1970s and she retired from acting after making ''Alligator'', which was released in 1980.

In 1991, Lyon featured prominently in the artwork for Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers' single "Stay Beautiful". Provided by Wikipedia
