She and her mother moved to Hollywood back in 1932, where she had an appearance as an extra in many films until she landed her breakthrough role as the obnoxious and spoiled Joy Smythe in the 1934 film Bright Eyes. Allegedly, the story about the movie Small Town Deb was about her.

She has achieved and earned a Young Artist Award¨CFormer Child Star ¡°Lifetime Achievement¡± Award with her excellent acting talent. Sadly, she experienced disappointment and heartache when her second husband died in a plane crash in 1968. On the other hand, her first marriage made her seek the help of an attorney after it ended with a divorce.
