Known slightly for playing exotic roles in the 40s, she was chosen (unknown at the time) by Cecil B. DeMille to play "Tremartini" in the film The Story of Dr. Wassell (1944) over the likes of Simone Simon, Yvonne De Carlo and Elena Verdugo.
Severely typecast as tropical native girls, her career ended by the early 60s. She committed suicide on New Year's Eve of 1969.
