Karen Morley Facts
Hollywood folklore has it that she broke into films when she read lines with actors being tested for Greta Garbo's movie Inspiration (1931) in 1931. She was so convincing that director Clarence Brown cast her in a prime role.

In 1954, she ran unsuccessfully as a New York lieutenant governor candidate for the American Labor Party.

Her MGM career fell apart after marrying director Charles Vidor, one of Hollywood's bright promises at the time. It seems it didn't sit well that she had nabbed him over prettier stars and it affected the way the public viewed her as an ingenue. By the late 30s she was reduced to small roles.
