Minneapolis, Minnesota, or no one person in particular. Beecher's singing is heard on Dylan's 1960 bootleg recording known as the "Minneapolis Party Tape", which was recorded while they were dating. Some of Dylan's earliest recordings in 1961 were recorded at her Minneapolis home. She made her television debut in the 1964 episode "

The Brown Bunny and
Baby Reindeer. Her short television career ended in 1968, with the October episode "
Spectre of the Gun" of
Star Trek, and a November episode of
