In March 1949 Sargent was featured in a production of I Know My Love at the Biltmore Theatre, in Los Angeles, California, which starred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. In July 1950, she was signed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer to act in Three Guys Named Mike.
On television, she played in a Bewitched episode called "A Strange Little Visitor" and made a guest appearance on Perry Mason in 1958 as Eileen Harrison, wife of the title character, in "The Case of the Married Moonlighter."
Marriages and family
Sargent's first marriage was to Edmon Ryan, an actor with Warner Brothers. Sargent accompanied her second husband, Paul McGrath, to England in 1978. McGrath, the voice of Inner Sanctum Mysteries in the 1940s and early 1950s, died in his sleep while the couple were staying in London, England.
Sargent's daughter with Ryan is actress Hilary Shelton Ryan, who studied at the Tudor Hall School, in Wickham Park, near Banbury, England.
