Trivia
Living with her family in Santa Rosa, California, the nine-year-old caught the eye of Alfred Hitchcock while he was in town checking out exterior locations and prepping to make his film Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and she was on a street corner with her two cousins waiting for a bus. Edna and her mother took a train the next day to Los Angeles, was screen tested and hired although she had no experience whatsoever...not even in school plays.

Quotes
I have nothing but good memories of working in Hollywood. It was a different era than it is now and, being as young as I was, I didn't feel like an actress -- I was just a kid that did what she was told to do.
