She made her first film appearance in 1931. Her first credited role was in 1934. Virginia made a big impression on audiences as a little girl who would “hold my breath ’til I am black in the face” to get her way.

At her retirement from the screen at age 16, she had appeared in more than forty films, and had acted with some of the biggest stars of the day.
