Personal Quote:

Mother, she pray, and I pray, and we pray all the time, and we stay awake all night, and the next day I hear I am the one [to play the Mountain Girl in The Gaucho (1927)]. I love Hollywood. I want to stay here all my life! See more »

Trivia:

Was briefly engaged to western star Guinn "Big Boy" Williams. They were visiting close friend Errol Flynn when she broke the engagement off--by hitting Williams over the head with a framed photo of himself (which Flynn alleged she also later urinated on). See more »
