- A former 'Follies' girl.
- Considered for the title role in The Godless Girl (1928), but was thought to be not American-looking enough.
- An attractive blonde with stage experience, Karlov was unable to find any significant work under a variation of her real name, Jeanne Williams. Failing to make an impact, she adopted an exotic name and an accent and back-story to match, and finally gained some attention. Her cover was reportedly blown at a luncheon at the Roosevelt Hotel, in front of a number of reporters, by Lina Basquette, who knew her from their days in New York.
- She was under contract to Cecil B. deMille Productions and later to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.
- Ran a concessions booth at the Worlds Fair at Treasure Island, San Francisco, in 1939.
