a year studying English every day and working out makeup and acting.Her first picture, Nana(1934)didn't bring audiences into the theaters.While she was looked great,the script and picture were average.Her 2nd film marginally better suited to her style, also died within weeks at the box office.After her 3rd film for Goldwyn (1935),also flopped.She made a few more movies, but by the end of the decade she was forgotten.
