After being signed on as a contract player by Warner Bros. in 1936, her first name was changed to Carol[2] and she began to appear in credited speaking roles, mostly in B movies.

By 1937, she was appearing in leading roles in films such as Meet the Boy Friend, Marry the Girl, Renfrew of the Royal Mounted, and The Westland Case.
