Why she might be annoying
She first met her future husband, director Norman Foster, when he was dating Loretta.
Most of her appearances were in low-budget B pictures.
She said, 'People ask me if I watch my old movies on television. I don't. I never liked a single thing I did.'
Why she might not be annoying
She was born while her mother was en route by train to the family home in Salt Lake City, with the train having to make an unscheduled stop when her mother went into labor.
She looked like Loretta, but with lighter colored hair.
She and Loretta were both named WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1929.
She was a good friend of singer Russ Columbo and was at his bedside when he died after a freak gun accident.
