Candy Newman was a devoted fan of actor
Troy Donahue, who was a frequent guest on her mother's Cincinnati, Ohio television show, "Ruth Lyon's
The 50/50 Club (1949)". Candy was given a small role in Donahue's 1963 film,
Palm Springs Weekend (1963). Most of Candy's very brief appearance was cut in the final edit. What remains is a few seconds of her (brunette girl with very short hair) sitting on a table and watching guests arrive in the main party sequence of the film.
