Key facts

She started her film career in 1933 in Stolen by Gypsies or Beer and Bicycles, and starred in two other films that same year. Her best known role was when she starred opposite John Wayne in the 1934 film The Lucky Texan. She was able to land the role due to her excellent horsemanship. It would be her last film. With no other roles coming her way, she retired from acting. She died at the age of 94 on October 19, 2007. Her newspaper biography for The Lucky Texan says she was born in New Orleans, where she also learned to ride, and had hopes of becoming a jockey. She later moved to Hartford, Connecticut where she performed with Jimmy Thatcher's theater troupe.
