      Vicki Trickett (September 2, 1938 – August 30, 2021) was an American actress best known for several film roles in the early 1960s. She is probably best known for her role as Diane Quigley in the film The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962).[2][3]

      Career

      Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Trickett was the eldest of five children and daughter of professional golfer, L.G.

      Tab Hunter discovered her in 1959 after meeting her at a Del Mar horse show. Hunter cast her in two episodes of The Tab Hunter Show . This led to additional television appearances on The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet.[2] Other film work included The Cabinet of Caligari, Gidget Goes Hawaiian and Pepe.[2]

      Following the divorce from her first husband, Trickett left the entertainment industry and returned to live in Omaha, Nebraska.[2]
