      Early years


      Roberts was born on March 7, 1905 in New York City.[1] She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colin M. Roberts, and she attended Winthrop High School.[2]

      She entered several beauty pageants, including the 1924 and 1925 Miss America pageants in Atlantic City, New Jersey (as Miss Manhattan, 1924, and Miss Greater New York, 1925). She won the "Most Beautiful Girl in Evening Gown" award each time.[1]

      In 1916, Roberts was selected as the most beautiful girl at an annual Movie Ball contest in Boston.[3]


      Career


      Roberts went to Hollywood in 1933 and between then and 1946, she appeared in nearly 60 films, including the 1937 drama Love Takes Flight, in which she starred opposite Bruce Cabot. Many of her roles were small and uncredited. Her most notable role was that of Queen Azura in Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars, a 1938 serial.[1]

      Her last movie contract was with Universal, and her final appearances were in Criss-Cross and Family Honeymoon. Her acting career never becoming the success she had dreamed of, she left Hollywood in 1949.


      Personal life


      On October 31, 1919, Roberts married Robert Ripley, owner of Ripley's Believe It or Not. Their marriage was "a union that only lasted three months, but which wasn't dissolved officially until 1926."[4] She married Robert A. Dillon in Tijuana, Mexico, on May 17, 1928. That marriage was annulled on September 8, 1933, because Dillon had another wife when they were wed.[5] In the 1940s, Roberts married John Wesley Smith.


      Death


      Roberts died in Plymouth, Massachusetts from pneumonia, aged 65.
