She is of three-quarters Swedish ancestry; the remainder is mixed English and German.
In 1939, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa and then to Los Angeles during May 1942.In early 1946, Van Doren began working as an usher at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. The following year, she had a bit part on an early television series. She also sang with Ted Fio Rito's band and entered several beauty contests. Van Doren was married for a brief time at 17 when she and her first husband, Jack Newman, eloped to Santa Barbara. The marriage was dissolved quickly because of his abusive nature.
In the summer of 1949, at age 18, she won the titles "Miss Eight Ball" and "Miss Palm Springs".
