- Had been considered for the role of Mrs. Connelly in the 2003 Drew Barrymore film, Duplex (2003). Had she received the role, it would have been her fifth with a member of the Barrymore family.
- Her MGM career fell apart after marrying director Charles Vidor, one of Hollywood`s bright promises at the time. It seems it didn`t sit well that she had nabbed him over prettier stars and it affected the way the public viewed her as an ingenue. By the late 30s she was reduced to small roles.
- Had a son Michael by first husband Charles Vidor.
- Hollywood folklore has it that she broke into films when she read lines with actors being tested for Greta Garbo`s movie Inspiration (1931) in 1931. She was so convincing that director Clarence Brown cast her in a prime role.
- She only made one film, an independent western called Born to the Saddle (1953) after testifying before the Senate Committee hearing alongside her second husband Lloyd Gough, who shared her `leftist` views. Both then dropped completely out of sight. He eventually came back in the 60s, she didn`t.
