In 1930 she was considered for the role of Nancy in a possible MGM film version of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," but the studio never made the film. It would have been the first sound version of a Dickens novel.
She directed Broadway plays beginning in the 1920s, and translated French works for the American stage. She was also a licensed pilot who flew her own plane cross-country.
