At age 19, in 1926, she appeared with Hampden in Caponsacchi. During the 1930s, she performed with Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre troupe. While appearing in the Mercury Theatre 1937 production of The Shoemaker's Holiday, she married leading man Vincent Price in 1938. The marriage ended in 1948. She and Price had one son, author/poet and environmental activist Vincent Barrett Price (born 1940).

Her best remembered movie role is possibly Mrs. Holland's mother-in-law in I Walked with a Zombie (1943). a movie sometimes described as "Jane Eyre" in the West Indies. She was almost three years younger than her "son" in that film (played by Tom Conway). She appeared briefly onscreen with Price in Keys of the Kingdom (1944). The following year she was seen as Mrs. Fairfax in 20th Century-Fox's adaptation of the real Jane Eyre (1944).
