November 29, 1899 - July 21, 1995 - American actress.
She made her film debut in 1910 in Uncle Tom's Cabin as Eve. As a child, she appeared in several more films with her sister Vivian. Their brother, George, was also an actor. After receiving her education in Paris, she returned to New York, where she continued to perform on stage. Most often she performed in comedies. She also played the role of Cornelia in the Broadway production of King Lear in 1923. Popular with audiences, she was often praised by critics for her appearance and style rather than her talent, however in 1929 she achieved significant success with the play Fifty Million French. She introduced and popularized Cole Porter's song "You Do Something to Me" and the role's success brought her back to Hollywood where she regularly appeared in comedy films since the early 1930s. She has appeared in prominent supporting roles alongside such performers as Janet MacDonald, Nelson Eddie, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwick, Claudette Colbert, Joan Blondell and Kay Francis, but occasionally starred in films such as Golden Harvest (1933 ) and Easy to Love (1934). She played Perry Mason's (Warren William) Della Street secretary in The Happy Feet Case (1935). One of her most successful roles was the bored housewife in the drama Petrified Forest (1936) starring Leslie Howard, Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart. She married director William Kayley in 1938 and has only appeared in a few films since. Her last film before retiring was No Time for Comedy (1940), opposite James Stewart and Rosalind Russell.
