As a student at Durand High School, she focused on commercial art and organized the school's first drama club. She wrote and starred in plays there. Hoping to become an actress, she moved to New York, where she worked as a commercial artist and studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She moved back to California and began to work in television and eventually in films. Winning a Los Angeles television contest "over a large and accomplished field of actresses" gave Larson the opportunity to act in motion pictures.
