In Short:
Nancy was the youngest of seven children. At the age of sixteen, she dropped out of high school to work as a
stenographer.
She was a gifted dancer and appeared in several Broadway musicals. Nancy made her film debut in the 1927 comedy,
"Ladies Must Dress" and was offered a contract with Paramount. With her red hair and big smile
she quickly became one of Hollywood's most popular actresses.
By 1931, she was receiving more fan mail than any other star!
Unfortunately, she had developed a reputation for being difficult and often complained about the parts she was given.
Paramount released her from her contract in 1933.
