Goudal came to the United States after World War I. She had appeared on stage in France and elsewhere in Europe and began her career in the U.S. on Broadway.

She moved to films in 1923 with "The Bright Shawl" and for the next 10 years made a string of successes under the aegis of such famous directors as D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille.
