Biografia

Blonde supporting actress from Broadway (from 1927-1957) who played occasional films roles, usually as humorous New York types. Will always be remembered as the chatty manicurist who spills the beans to Norma Shearer about her husband's illicit affair with Joan Crawford in the classic Donne (1939).

By the time she made her screen debut in 1935, she had over 20 stage roles to her credit.

She made a career playing secretaries, maids, department store clerks, busybodies, roommates, and wives.

She had no survivors or immediate family when she died. Upon her death, she was promptly cremated and her ashes scattered over the balcony of her New York City apartment.

After she retired, she sold her Hollywood vacation home and spent the rest of her life living at a residential hotel in Manhattan, New York.
