[1] She was offered a contract by Hal Roach, and began her movie career, appearing in small roles in several Our Gang comedies.

[2] A few months earlier she was hired by a woman, an agent for a photography studio, to pose for a series of photos, described as an "art study", to be used by a sculptor who was creating a fountain.

When Grant was in Atlantic City for the "Miss America" contest, she saw copies of the photos she believed were made solely for use by the sculptor.

Soon after, Grant was called on the phone by a third man who demanded "an extortionate fee for the return of the plates" to her; otherwise, he threatened "to cause motion-picture producer Hal Roach to break the cinema contract" with her.

Wershon, who had a store on Sunset Boulevard, claimed the third man was acting without any authority from him or permission from the two photographers who supplied him with the prints.

Grant's attorney, Thomas Lipps, sought a warrant charging fraud against the photographers and attempted extortion against the former movie extra man.

She admitted she made a mistake not reading the paper she signed, thinking it was a receipt, but that she trusted the woman who hired her, as well as the photographers, and never thought they would turn against her.

It was Hal Roach's suggestion she be taken to a sanatorium "where she could have complete rest...and not be accessible to even close friends, who, well meaning enough, might hurt her chances for recovery."

Hal Roach had only praise for Grant as an actress, saying she was "one of the most avid students of film technique" from the time he signed her to a five-year contract two years prior.

The article, "Diet - The Menace of Hollywood" by Katherine Albert, stated "The Miss Los Angeles of a few years ago was Kathryn [sic] Grant.
