As the daughter of the maintenance chief at MGM, Noreen Corcoran and her seven brothers and sisters went into acting. Corcoran’s big break (supposedly due to the intervention of actor Ronald Reagan) was being cast in the hit sitcom Bachelor Father as Kelly Gregg, an orphaned 13-year-old being raised by her bachelor uncle John Forsythe.

She played a supporting role in the third and final Gidget movie, Gidget Goes to Rome (1963), and the lead role in The Girls on the Beach (1965). After a couple of appearances on series television, she retired from acting in 1965.
