Perhaps Mitchum's most notable role was that of Ruth Bridgers in the 1959 William Castle "campy supernatural horror" film House on Haunted Hill, in which she co-starred with Vincent Price. She also had a bit part (uncredited) as a slave in The Ten Commandments as well as The High and the Mighty with John Wayne.

Mitchum was also a musician, singing and playing piano in night clubs. During World War II, she entertained military personnel overseas.[1] In the early 1950s, she had her own program on KLAC-TV in Los Angeles.[2]

Mitchum died in Sun City, Arizona, of Alzheimer's disease, aged 88, in 2003.
