She was an English born actress who ended up in America working in the silents after a flirtation as a showgirl.

Fairly big in the silent era, she did some movies in the sound era, but didn't quite catch on. She was out of movies by 1937, but did appear on a few Hawaii 5-0's almost 40 years later!
She has a bit of a following with pre code film fans, especially for the role shown below, Safe in Hell, 1931. Didn't know til I just read her IMDB bio, she was born in England!

Here is a photo, clearly taken on the set of this film, but in the film, the camera it too close to really show us what we see here. Bet a few of you have seen this image....
