Born in Canton, Ohio, Garner's mother pushed her
into the limelight, and entered her in talent
quests while Garner was still a child. By 1938 she
had made her first film appearance and over the
next few years appeared in several more films
including the young Jane in Jane Eyre (1944).  She
reached the height of her success at the age of 13
in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) winning an
Academy Juvenile Award largely on the basis of

in films during the early 1950s.  After her film

had some success, but also worked as a real estate
agent between acting jobs in order to support
herself. Her final screen performance was a small
part in a made for television feature in 1980.
