However when her studio contract expired in 1933 she announced her retirement from acting at the tender age of twenty six.

She married composer Nacio Herb Brown that same year but the marriage was annulled just twelve months later as Brown's divorce had not be finalised by the time the couple were married. She married a gain in 1937 to navy pilot Lieutenant Hershel A. House with whom she had two daughters.

The couple lived in California until his death in 1991.

After turning her back on Hollywood for sixty years she returned to the big screen in 1996 with Sunset After Dark and went on to appear in several low budget horror movies.

Her public appearances diminished over the last few years due to poor health and she finally passed away in her sleep this weekend due to natural causes.
