Jill's father was Sid Davis - who at 4 years old was an extra in the silent Our Gang Comedies.  Sid continued working in other films as an extra or a stand-in until he was approximately 36 years old.   He then went on the other side of the camera and made educational films for schools, police departments, and the International Juvenile Officers Association. 

Sid was John Wayne's stand-in and occasionally his stunt double from 1941-1952.
The picture below is from the movie Red River filmed in 1946 with Gail Russell. 
John Wayne was 39, Sid was 30. (Sid turned 88 April 1, 2004)

Some of the other Wayne movies Sid worked on:

Flying Tigers 1942 
Back to Bataan 1945
Dakota 1945 
Flame of the Barbary Coast 1945 
Fort Apache 1948
Big Jim Mclain 1952                          
Flying Leathernecks 1951 

Sid also once stood in for the following people:
Raymond Burr, Charlie Chaplin, Leif Erickson, John Carroll, and Ben Johnson (in 
Mighty Joe Young).

Jill's mother - Norma Davis, was a stand-in for Lorainne Day and Terry Moore (Mighty Joe 
Young) who was once married to Howard Hughes.  Both Jill's mother and father were 
in crowd scenes in the original King Kong when Kong escaped in New York City.

Jill lived next door to Ann-Margret in 1964 when Ann-Margaret still lived with her 
parents.  Jill remembers seeing the pink Cadillac that Elvis bought Ann-Margaret.   And she used to see Ann-Margaret and Roger Smith ride their motorcycles.  Growing up, Jill lived in Benedict Canyon, just a few blocks away from Sandra Dee, Jeff Chandler, Fred Astair.
