Films
Knight acted in low-budget films of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Frankenstein's Daughter (1958) in which she played the titular role, The Terror (1963) starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson, where she plays an evil spirit, and Tower of London (1962) with Vincent Price. Her most well-known film is the bootleg moonshine action epic Thunder Road (1958) starring Robert Mitchum.

She appeared as a guest star in numerous television series, including Tales of Wells Fargo with Dale Robertson; a Warner Bros. detective show titled Bourbon Street Beat; a Western about an insurance investigator titled The Man from Blackhawk; a Western about a partially disabled gunslinger called Tate; a post-Civil War Western starring Nick Adams in the titular role of The Rebel; a Western ensemble show titled Laramie; Wagon Train starring Ward Bond and Robert Horton; a then-modern day Warner Bros. detective show set in Miami Beach starring Troy Donahue, Van Williams, Diane McBain and Margarita Sierra titled Surfside 6; a Western series starring Barry Sullivan as Pat Garrett and Clu Gulager as Billy the Kid titled The Tall Man; and a slapstick sitcom called I'm Dickens, He's Fenster starring John Astin and Marty Ingels as a pair of woefully inept carpenters.
