Personal Quote:

My parents were both progressive people learning much from Henrik Ibsen. My mother believed that a woman should not be tied down to family with nothing else in her life. They were also progressive politically. My father, we thought, voted the Democratic ticket, but actually he voted the Socialist ticket; my mother was a suffragette and I marched in parades with her.

Trivia:

Joined the Chatauqua theatre circuit in 1920 as an ingenue and a year later became a member of the John Keller Shakespeare Company where she toured Canada and America in productions of "Hamlet," "Julius Caesar," "The Merchant of Venice" and "Macbeth." See more »
