Trivia
Left more than US$20 million to New York University on her death.
Was the leading contender for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in
Gone with the Wind. Her inability to produce a marriage certificate to prove she and
Charles Chaplin were married, and the appearance of
Vivien Leigh on the scene lost her the part.
Was one of the 20 original 'Goldwyn Girls', along with
Lucille Ball,
Virginia Bruce,
Ann Dvorak and
Betty Grable.
Sources variously cite her year of birth as 1911 and 1914, and the place as Whitestone Landing, New York, USA. However, municipal employees in Ronco, Switzerland, where she died, gave her birth year of record as 1905.
Had no siblings and no children.
Actress
