MINI BIO:
Ultra-blonde American actress, in quiet roles through the 1930s and early 1940s. The private life of this former Ziegfeld girl was less quiet; she married John Gilbert (1932-1934) in the years of his decline. Gilbert died two years after they parted, and her second husband, director J. Walter Ruben, died in 1942. Her third husband, Turkish director Ali Ipar, fell foul of his country's regime and was jailed for 18 months in 1960. They were later divorced.
