A model and winner of numerous local beauty contests, Wolf was queen of the 1962 May Festival in Orange, California. Later that year, she was named Miss Orange County Press Club. In 1967, she appeared on the cover of the July issue of Playboy.
Her first credited role – and later her last credited appearance – came over seven episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies (1966, 1968 and 1969). Her most active year was 1967, with six total appearances in single episodes of Star Trek, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, The Flying Nun, The Second Hundred Years and The Wild Wild West. Her only feature-film credit was a supporting role in the beach movie Catalina Caper (1967).
Personal life and death
Wolf retired from acting after her marriage in 1968 to Skip Taylor, the manager of the blues-rock band Canned Heat. They had two children before divorcing in 1972.
After a long battle with multiple myeloma and kidney failure, Wolf died on November 22, 2014, at age 69, at her home in the Hollywood Hills.
