Beautiful American actress, who worked for producer Mack Sennett as one of his "bathing beauties". After her Sennett days, she continued to work in films as a stand-in; she became the regular stand-in for Irene Dunne (beginning with "Magnificent Obsession" in 1935), in addition to doing the same for Jane Wyatt, Valerie Hobson, Marguerite Churchill, Diana Barrymore, and other actresses. Some sources give incorrect dates of 12 Nov 1897 - 17 April 1978 for her.
