Because of her youthful appearance, many people think of her as a 1930s actress, but actually, she was born in 1906, and she moved with her family to Los Angeles in the mid 1920s, and she got a few bit parts in movies, but in 1926, she became a star with her performance in "The Johnstown Flood". She signed with William Fox and starred in a series of movies, especially "Seventh Heaven" and "Sunrise", both in 1927, and "Street Angel" the following year. She won the first Academy Award ever given for Best Actress.
