She worked as a newspaper journalist before getting a job around 1919 as a reader for Fairbanks' company, eventually climbing the ladder to serve as chief scenario editor.[3][4][5] She later signed a long contract at MGM.[6] During the 1920s, she was responsible for films like The Three Musketeers and The Fire Brigade.[7]

At some point during the 1910s, she married physician Arthur Woods, brother of film pioneer Frank E. Woods.
