Helene Stanton (born Eleanor Mae Stansbury, November 4, 1925 – June 7, 2017) was an American singer and actress.

[5] In 1955, she was spotted by a producer for Allied Artists while performing in Las Vegas, who offered her a part in the film The Big Combo.

[5] She moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in acting,[3] which began while singing at Ciro's in West Hollywood, California, where she played in films alongside actors such as Johnny Weissmuller, Arthur Franz and Tom Drake.

Despite her opinion that she would typically be cast in "flashy" roles, such as a burlesque dancer, she would try to compensate as being "as plain as possible" when not on stage, with people commenting on how different she looked when not wearing make-up.

[6] During a screen test for Jungle Moon Men, producer Sam Katzman described how she looked "like a million", with comparisons to Rita Hayworth in her tall and redheaded appearance.

[3] Born as Eleanor Stansbury, she changed her name at the suggestion of columnist and friend Louella Parsons,[3] as it was felt her own name was "a little staid for a singer of popular songs".
