- Was once a dancer with the San Carlo Opera Company.
- Well known around Hollywood during the 1930s for her resemblance to actress Janet Gaynor. Though the resemblance to Gaynor was extremely noticeable in person, it was much less pronounced in film and photographs.
- Resembling Janet Gaynor so closely actually has been a handicap to me so far. And it has been something of a sore spot too. Perhaps I should feel honored to be mistaken for her so often, but when a girl is trying to do something on her own she doesn't like always to be taken for someone else.
- At the studios, where they know I'm not Janet (Gaynor), they simply say that I look too much like her, usually not even giving me a chance to show that we don't photograph anything alike.
