Her death was reported to the New York Times by son Jordan Wexler.
Cristal had built a career as an actress during the 1950s in Mexico’s film industry when she was cast in an English-speaking role in 1956’s “Comanche,” directed by George Sherman and starring Dana Andrews.
Film and TV credits throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s included roles in “Rawhide,” “Seven Sins,” “The Alamo,” “The Tab Hunter Show” and “Iron Horse,” among others. For her performance in Blake Edwards’ 1958 comedy “The Perfect Furlough,” she shared a New Star of the Year Golden Globe Award with Tina Louise and Susan Kohner.
Her highest-profile role arrived in 1967 with the hour-long Western “The High Chaparral,” a series that ran for four seasons and starred, in addition to Erickson and Cristal, Cameron Mitchell, Henry Darrow and Mark Slade.
Subsequent credits include “Barnaby Jones,” “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” She joined the cast of the soap “General Hospital” for a year in 1988.
Cristal is survived by sons Jordan Wexler, Gregory Wexler, and two grandchildren.
