Selected one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1922, she came from a family who had never had a member partake in the acting profession. At an early age, McGuire's family moved to Aurora, Illinois, and then to Chicago. McGuire received her education from the Jennings Seminary in Aurora, and remained there even after her parents left that city. By the time she graduated at about the age of fourteen, her parents were ready to move to California. McGuire was highly interested in dancing, and took classes under the leading ballet masters when she arrived in California. Even after her film career kicked off and she became deeply interested in this new employment, she continued to keep up her dancing. Career{{moresources|section|date=November 2017}}While studying at the Hollywood High School, as well as her dancing, McGuire participated in a program exhibition at the Maryland Hotel in Pasadena. She was seen by Thomas H. Ince, who immediately offered McGuire a solo number in an upcoming film.[4] Her dancing skills led her not only to find jobs at Ince, but also at Universal and Mack Sennett. It was Sennett who realized that McGuire had genuine acting capabilities along the lines of her talent for dance after she performed a number in a comedy being produced by Sennett. She went on to become featured in Sennett's comedies.[5] McGuire's first serious role came as the "only girl" in The Silent Call (1921). She is probably best remembered today for the parts of The Girl and Betsy O'Brien, alongside Buster Keaton, in Sherlock Jr. and The Navigator (both 1924) respectively. She also starred with Gladys Walton as a second lead in Playing with Fire (1921) for Universal Pictures, as well as in The Flame of Life (1923) with Priscilla Dean. By 1930, however, her film career had ended. Personal lifeOn September 18, 1927, McGuire married George W. Landy, a studio publicity director, in Hollywood.[6] Their marriage ended in 1955 upon his death. They had a daughter, born July 14, 1936.[7] DeathMcGuire died of cancer in 1978, at age 74, in Los Angeles, California.[1] She was survived by a daughter and a sister.[5] Partial filmography
