While in Hollywood, she was a stand-in for Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow, was a celebrity spokeswoman for Max Factor Makeup, and she was a tabloid sensation due in part to her well-known romances with such prestigious leading men as Jackie Coogan, a child star and better known as "Uncle Fenster" on television's "Adams Family" in his later years, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr., and Maurice Auguste Chevalier.
