As a child she studied at Seattle's Cornish School. Still in her early
twenties, after several years of stock work in New York, she joined Eva
Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theater where she won critical praise
for her title role in "Alice in Wonderland." She came to Hollywood in
1934 under contract with Warners, debuting in Happiness Ahead (1934). She
co-starred with Paul Muni in The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936) and
played in many small roles, both in films - e.g., the phony U.N.
ambassador's wife in North by Northwest (1959) - and television: The Twilight Zone (1959),
Gunsmoke (1955), and Perry Mason (1957) in the fifties and sixties. She died at
Manhattan's Florence Nightingale Nursing Home, aged 94.
