A farmer's daughter, she worked as a biscuit packer, shop girl, and manicurist before starting on her road to fame in a small Chicago cabaret. She appeared in only a handful of films early in the sound era, typically portraying fallen women as she had done on the stage, most memorably as pathetic Kitty Darling in Rouben mamoulian's APPLAUSE (her debut film, made and first shown in 1929 but not released until 1930) and as the tragic Julie in James Whale's SHOW BOAT, in which she repeated her triumphant Broadway role. She had also appeared in the part-talking 1929 film version of that musical.
