Mary Badham's claim to fame was for her distinguished portrayal of the young girl, Scout, in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). She was chosen over 2,000 other young actresses and afterwards won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Following that, Badham only appeared in two more movies and in episodes of two TV shows, Dr. Kildare and Twilight Zone. She is the sister of filmmaker John Badham.
