Career
Lawrence had a short-lived but memorable career in the 1930s before she married in 1939 and retired from entertainment. She is best known for portraying Mary Roberts in Laurel and Hardy's Way Out West (1937); she also provided the "high" voice when Stan Laurel sang "Trail of the Lonesome Pine".
She played "Miss Lawrence", the schoolteacher in the Our Gang comedies from 1936-37, and as Alice Lowell in Charlie Chan's Secret (1936). In 1937, she played "Cecilia Moore" in Pick A Star. Her final performance was in the 1939 Italian comedy film In the Country Fell a Star, in which she plays an American film star who causes great excitement when she appears in a small Italian town.
