Actress. She appeared in fifty silent-screen era comedy films between 1923 and 1926 after being discovered in a beauty pageant. Signed by motion picture director Hal Roach, she appeared in shorts directed by him, including some early "Little Rascals" episodes. She was embroiled in a scandal early in her career over artful nude photos she had taken believing they were for use as a model for sculptures, and eventually sued to stop their distribution after they had been circulated. On December 8, 1925 she was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver, and her deterioration after the incident influenced those around her to commit her to a sanitarium, where she eventually died at age 32.
