Gained notoriety in 1942 when she and another aspiring actress, Betty Hansen, claimed they were forcibly sexually assaulted by actor
Errol Flynn, Although the alleged incidents didn't happen at the same time or place--she claimed it happened aboard Flynn's yacht and Hansen claimed it happened at Flynn's home during a party--and both girls didn't know each other, Flynn was tried on both charges at the same trial. He was eventually acquitted. The incident gave rise to the saying, "in like Flynn".
