list by filmbuilder

This beautiful Broadway singer and actress appeared in only one film, portraying the forever-young ice goddess ("she who must be obeyed"), the title character in RKO's 1935 adaptation of H. Rider Haggard's tale, She (1935), opposite Randolph Scott. In the latter 1940s, having entered politics, she would serve two terms in the lower house of the U.S. Congress as a Representative from the state of California. (Her bid in 1950 for a seat in the upper house, the United States Senate, saw defeat at the hands of one Richard Nixon).
