A scout for American International Pictures spotted a photo of Sue in a magazine ad. Hamilton signed a long-term multi-movie contract with the studio. She made her film debut with a small part in "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini." Sue acted in a handful of movies for American International Pictures. Sue Hamilton died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at age 23 on September 2, 1969. She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California.
