Chicago Syndicate did not require her to do more than look glamorous in a series of evening gowns, but her next film Count Three and Pray gave her the role that she later described as the best of her career. She played the wife of Van Heflin, and the film costarred Raymond Burr and Joanne Woodward in her debut. As a "Southern Belle" finally reduced to the role of a housekeeper, Hayes had several dramatic scenes, however when the film was released much of the attention of reviewers was focussed on Woodward, and Hayes was largely ignored. She appeared in films such as Steel Jungle, Mohawk and Gunslinger (all 1956) but a fall from a horse during the filming of the latter left Hayes with a broken arm and unable to work.

In 1958 she played the leading role in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958). With its science fiction storyline and low budget special effects, the film attained popularity with some movie fans, and in the subsequent years has attracted a cult film following. The film did not lead to better roles, however she remained constantly employed, and also found work as a model. During 1963 and 1964 she played a continuing role in the soap opera General Hospital but by this time her career was virtually over. A close friend of Raymond Burr since filming Count Three and Pray, she made several guest appearances on his Perry Mason series during this time. As her acting career declined, she began to experience severe health problems, and was unable to walk without a cane. In severe pain, her usually good natured personality began to change and she became emotional and volatile, making it difficult for her to secure acting work.

Hayes later said that the pain of her illness caused her to contemplate suicide, and she found that her symptoms were not taken seriously by doctors. Reading a medical book about the metal poisoning of factory workers, Hayes recognised the symptoms described as being similar to her own. Hayes began to question the ingredients of a dietary supplement she had been taking since 1964 and when she employed a toxicologist to test a sample of the product, he determined that it had an extremely high content of lead and concluded that Hayes was most likely suffering from lead poisoning. Hayes mounted a campaign to have the FDA ban the import or sale of the food supplement, finally achieving success in 1976 when they advised her that amendments were being made to the laws governing the importation of nutritional supplements, largely as a result of her situation. 1964 was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
