A Hal Roach agent spotted her and she was tested and signed to a seven-year pact at $75 a week. Following her departure, however, her career faltered but she found behind-the-scenes success. She also performed voice-over work on commercials and became a well-oiled impressionist and trick voice artist. She died under rather mysterious circumstances at a North Hollywood hospital of acute hepatitis in 1979 following a minor operation. Vintage matte-finish 5 x 7 photo of the young Darla in a coat and hat, signed in fountain pen, “Darla.” Accompanied by the original Hal Roach Studio mailing envelope. In fine condition, with a bit of trivial light silvering to darker areas of image. RRAuction COA.
