She was fairly good-looking, and it got her hired off the New York stage by Sam Goldwyn for film roles, altho her singing for him and later at Paramount was all dubbed, after Sam heard the cast album for her last musical. She would eventually marry into the Rothschilds, only to have her daughter die from SIDS, after which she retired. She passed in 1981; 60.
