In 1931, she obtained a feature role in Hollywood's "The Struggle," and for the next 15 years was seen on screen in nearly 30 films, among them "Son of Kong," "All of Me," "The Lemon Drop Kid," "His Girl Friday," "And Now Tomorrow" and, finally, "Divorce" in 1945.

She also was director and/or producer of two long-running radio shows, "A Date With Judy" and "Meet Corliss Archer." Most recently, she had written a play, "The Matinee Dance," which ran briefly on Broadway in the 1970s.
