In 1919, she and her mother arrived in Hollywood, and soon she had found work writing film scenarios. During the 1920s through the 1930s, she was credited on dozens of motion pictures, and was under contract for much of that time at Samuel Goldwyn Studios (later Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), and briefly at Paramount Pictures. Her work was in demand, and a number of studios vied to get her work.
During World War II, she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps.
