As a child, she won beauty contests and was voted High School Queen four years in a row. She attended the University of Missouri studying journalism. After leaving the university, she went to Washington, DC and became a well-known model, which brought her career to New York City. While dining with friends in New York, she was approached by a Hollywood executive with the opportunity of signing a contract with Paramount Studios. She accepted the next morning and moved to Hollywood, California, where she started her glamorous life.
Being such a social butterfly, she quickly became one of Hollywood’s “it” girls, which let her rub elbows with some of the highest people in society. Selene’s starlet power and beauty played a big part in making her an international socialite dating kings, princes, and prominent men. Her natural love for history and the arts took her on her first trip to Europe in 1949. As her acting and modeling career tapered off, it made sense to turn her all-play-and-no-work lifestyle into a career of writing and became an international columnist. Her list of friends and old beaus made it easy for her to follow the movie industry through her column On the Scene with Selene.
She married the love of her life, Franklin J. Lamm, in 1975 and continued being a successful international socialite and columnist. They spent the next thirty-two years happily married until his death in 2007. She currently lives with her daughter in Los Angeles, California.view less
