Actress. Wife of actor Alan Ladd.  She was 20 years old when she entered film work. Her first role was a bit part in “Soft Cushions” in 1927. Directors liked the way she took instruction and gave her a more substantial part later that year in “Slaves of Beauty.”   While she didn’t land the roles her contemporaries did, she was considered a very competent actress.  Family links:  Spouse:  Alan Ladd (1913 – 1964)*  Children:  Alana Susan Ladd Jackson (1943 – 2014)* *Calculated relationship
