Acting career Discovered by Alfred Hitchcock, Gillespie began acting on television when she was four years old. In 1958, she obtained small roles in Andy Hardy Comes Home and The Lost Missile.

She continued to act in both television series and films, including playing dual roles in Pippi Longstocking, a 1961 episode of Shirley Temple's Storybook. The story differs from the famous children's novel, for it is about a girl named Susan Ann Scholfield who tells her younger sister that, if she had her own way, she would be a girl named Pippi and live in a house with a monkey, a horse and a box of gold. The episode then shows the adventures Susan imagines.

In 1961, she appeared in an episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller - Mr. George, a story by August Derleth, and directed by Ida Lupino. Lucy Chase Williams interviewed her for the commentary track of the DVD issue for this episode.

In 1962 Gillespie played the role of young Blanche in the film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and received good reviews for her performance.
