She made her screen debut in 1930 opposite Irish tenor "John McCormick" in Song O' My Heart, which earned her a contract with Fox studios. After appearing in such Fox blockbusters as "Just Imagine" (1930) and "A Connecticut Yankee" (1931), she moved to MGM, where her first assignment was the role of Jane Parker in "Tarzan the Ape Man" (1932). She repeated this characterization in "Tarzan and His Mate" (1934), causing a minor sensation with her bikini-like costume and a nude swimming scene. Somewhat more modestly garbed, she went on to co-star in four more "Tarzan" pictures over the next eight years. Though MGM kept her busy in a variety of films, ranging from such costume dramas as "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" (1934)... Full Biography
