The daughter of Sam and Minnie Pearl Harris Bynum,[3] Byron was born in Weakley County, Tennessee but lived in Akron, Ohio as a teenager, attending Garfield High School.[2]

She attended Murray College for one year. Leaving college, she became a dancer in a touring troupe The Band Box Revue. Later, she became a model, attracting attention from Hollywood as her picture appeared on magazine covers.[4] In 1936, Byron received a stock contract from 20th Century Fox,[5] giving her a chance in films.
