She performed as a singer for movie soundtracks, and in 1942 she had her first film role, an uncredited part in Personalities.

She only had three film roles through the 1940s, and another three in the 1950s. Her most notable role was in 1952 opposite Randolph Scott in the film Carson City. Her last acting appearance was in the television series The Colgate Comedy Hour, in which she appeared on one episode.
