She got her start on Broadway and became famous when she married the much older "Al Jolson". Her biggest success came as the guileless heroine of several "Busby Berkeley"-directed musicals, often opposite "Dick Powell". Following her divorce from Jolson, she retired from films and made only a few appearances until her comeback in No, No, Nanette on Broadway in 1970. Her best-known films include "Forty-Second Street" (1933), "Footlight Parade" (1933), "Gold Diggers of 1933" (1933), "Dames" (1934) and "Go Into Your Dance" (1935), her only film with Jolson. ~ All Movie Guide
