Life and career

Born in Manila, Seurat began her Hollywood career as a dancer in Ken Murray's "Blackouts", the popular postwar variety show at the El Capitan Theatre. Though she primarily played Asian characters, Seurat was adept at playing various nationalities; her breakthrough role was as Louisa Escalante, the blind murder victim's sister in John Frankenheimer's The Young Savages (1961).

She was frequently cast on 1960s television shows that sought exotic beauties for Asian, Hispanic, or Native American roles including Adventures in Paradise, The Fugitive, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Seaway, Hawaiian Eye, The Virginian, Maverick, Bonanza, Stoney Burke, Star Trek, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Wild Wild West, Hawaii Five-O, I Spy, The Lieutenant and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Personal life

She married producer Don Devlin in 1959; the couple divorced in 1963. The couple's son is the producer Dean Devlin. In 1970, she married writer Don Cerveris and shortly afterwards retired from acting and began using the name Pilar Cerveris. This marriage ended in 1981.{{cn|date=December 2017}}

Pilar also had a full sister in the Philippines and a younger half-sister, Alana Hernandez in Los Angeles. Father and daughters remained close all their lives.

Death

Seurat died of lung cancer in 2001 and is interred in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.
