Actress probably best remembered for the 1941 serial Jungle Girl, based on an Edgar Rice Burroughs story. In 1948 she was involved in an auto accident in which she received severe head injuries. In 1958 newspaper stories reported that as a result of the injuries she had been admitted to a California state mental hospital. In 1983, a writer for a film magazine found her in Pasadena. She had apparently fully overcome her physical and mental problems and was working for the city library.
