screen role. She played the ethereal Eleanor Lance in "The Haunting" (1963), director Robert Wise's screen adaptation of a novel by Shirley Jackson. Another cast member recalled Harris refusing to socialize with the other actors while not on set, later explaining that she had done so as a method of emphasizing the alienation from the other characters experienced by her character in the film. Other notable films Harris appeared in during the 1960s include "Requiem for a Heavyweight" (1962), "Harper" (with Paul Newman) (1966), and "Reflections in a Golden Eye" (1967).
