At the age of nine she intended to become a pilot. After more school in Paris, back in Dublin, she met director Frank Borzage who was doing location filming for Fox and who invited her to Hollywood where she arrived, accompanied by her mother, in 1930. In 1932 she signed with MGM and completed nine movies at four studios. Irving Thalberg picked her to play Tarzan's Jane. She was perhaps MGM's most popular ingenue throughout the 1930s in a number of non-Tarzan vehicles. She married Australian writer John Farrow (later an award-winning director and author of a history of the papacy, a life of Thomas More and a Tahitian/English dictionary) with whom she had seven children: Michael, Patrick, Maria (Mia Farrow), John, Prudence, Theresa (Tisa Farrow), and Stephanie Farrow. After her last Tarzan she asked for release from her contract to care for her husband who had just left the Navy with typhoid.

Spouse James Cushing (22 August 1983 - 23 June 1998) (her death), John Farrow (12 September 1936 - 28 January 1963) (his death) 7 children.
