After graduating from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Gam made her way to New York City, where she quickly established herself as a rising talent on the Broadway stage. Her captivating performances in plays like "The Constant Wife" and "A Hatful of Rain" earned her critical acclaim and brought her to the attention of Hollywood producers.


In 1952, Gam made her film debut in the thriller "Side Street," and went on to appear in a variety of notable movies throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
