Nicole's film debut was a small part in Disney's The Love Bug
(1968), as the girl in the dune-buggy. She got a bigger part in her second
film, The Trouble With Girls.
One of the cool things
about The Trouble With Girls is that there are so many
interesting characters! Elvis is the star, of course, but most of the
supporting roles get almost as much screen time! Nicole Jaffe plays
Betty, the goofy, flirtatious daughter of the local hotel owner. She
plays it to the hilt, and has a few key scenes in the film. There's the
hotel scene, with her crazy method for remembering people's names, and
she signs on as piano player "for the munificent salary of nothing!",
which sends union-boss Marlyn Mason into a tizzy!
The same year, 1969,
after a small part in Marlowe with James Garner, Nicole made her
debut in the cartoon world as the voice of Velma on the Scooby Doo
series. The TV series proved to be wildly popular, and is still going
strong today, although with some minor changes, and some different voice
actors, and has now been turned into two successful films! Nicole left
the Scooby Doo series in 1974 to become an agent, representing actors.
She got married (now Nichole David), and she currently works for the
William Morris Agency.
