  • Trivia
    Minor character actress who appeared rather unsympathetically in a number of films for producer Val Lewton in the 1940s, including The Seventh Victim (1943), Bedlam (1946) and Cat People (1942) and her best known part in The Curse of the Cat People (1944).
  • Quotes
    I didn't like all the jealousy, upstaging, fights for bigger billing and the like. I wanted no part of it and was classified as "Mrs. Rich Bitch" because of my attitude.
