Personal Quote:

There was a quality about Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that was so special . . . it was just the most exciting studio in the world. They looked after their people so perfectly. And then to go to a place [Lippert Pictures - a B-movie company] where you don't know anybody and they don't know you and they don't give a rip, it was not a happy time. I got so ticked off, I got married! See more »

Trivia:

Her first big break came after being contracted to MGM and was given the recurring role of girlfriend Polly Benedict in the "Andy Hardy" film series starring Mickey Rooney from 1937 to 1942. See more »
