She was born in Kalinkavičy (now Kalinkavichy, Belarus) and raised in the United States. Her father, Morris Locke ( né Mendel Lakomowitz [1]), was a Hebrew teacher and amateur writer. [2] She was trained as a pianist but chose instead to become an actress. [3]
After appearing in small roles, at one time as an off-stage barking dog, her career was established by appearing in the 1937 Broadway play Having Wonderful Time, co-starring with John Garfield. [3] [4] She appeared in films in the 1940s and 1950s as a supporting actress. She began her film work in the late 1930s in bit parts, but she is remembered today as a stage actress. In addition to appearing on a successful Broadway production of Hamlet playing Ophelia, her stage credits include starring with John Garfield in Having a Wonderful Time, Fifth Column with Lee J. Cobb, and Clash by Night with Tallulah Bankhead.[ citation needed]
