She admitted to author Boze Hadleigh in his book "Hollywood Lesbians" (1996), which was published after the deaths of all the interviewees, that she was a lesbian. She had a long tempestuous relationship with bisexual actress Tallulah Bankhead. Returned to Broadway in the 70s in the revival of No, No, Nanette with fellow Irish Catholic hoofers Ruby Keeler and Helen Gallagher. Died at 71 in California of cancer. US-actor-stub
