She spent several weeks in the hospital after being attacked by a
leopard whilst making a film at Warner Bros.
Blue-eyed actress, singer and dancer, on stage aged thirteen. Worked for Ziegfeld prior to being signed under long-term contract by Warner Brothers.
Her career declined after the death of Ziegfeld. She did not get on with Samuel Goldwyn and left Hollywood rather bitter. In later years she declared "Maybe things would have been different had I not had such a bossy mother and had Ziegfeld not died when he did.".
In old age, she was looked after by two Mexican caregivers, neither of
whom had any idea that she had been a Hollywood star.
Variety printed her obituary in 1954, 49 years before she died.
In the late 80s she lived the quiet life as a landlady in Las Vegas.
Left acting in 1938 to marry and later worked as a secretary for an
aircraft manufacturer.
