She was discovered as part of a Paramount Pictures search for beauty contest-considered one of the top 10 most beautiful girls in the country. Prior to that, Punkins had been on the radio, and was a talented dancer. She appeared in a few movies for Paramount, and later signed a contract with MGM.

During her stay in Hollywood, she dated Howard Hughes. She danced from Hollywood to New York, appearing on Broadway with her partner Billy Daniel.
When Mary returned to Fort Worth, she had a weekly program, "Mary Parker Playtime," on WBAP-TV. After this, she had a dance studio on Forest Park Blvd. where she taught dancing for many years.
