Born in Manila, Seurat began her Hollywood career as a dancer in Ken Murray's "Blackouts", the popular postwar variety show at the El Capitan Theatre. Though she primarily played Asian characters, Seurat was adept at playing various nationalities; her breakthrough role was as Louisa Escalante, the blind murder victim's sister in John Frankenheimer's The Young Savages (1961).
She married producer Don Devlin in 1959; the couple divorced in 1963. The couple's son is the producer Dean Devlin. In 1970, she married writer Don Cerveris and shortly afterwards retired from acting and began using the name Pilar Cerveris. This marriage ended in 1981.[citation needed] Her father, Major Al Hernandez, fought the Japanese occupiers in the Philippine jungle during WW2. He later wrote the book, Bahala na about his time in WW2. Pilar also had a full sister in the Philippines and a younger half-sister, Alana Hernandez, in Los Angeles.
