Warren's movie career began in 1942, when she signed a seven-year[5] contract with the film studio Warner Bros..[7] That same year, she appeared in her first motion picture, Always in My Heart, alongside Kay Francis and Walter Huston.[8] Her singing voice was often compared to that of Deanna Durbin.[9]

She made four more movies after that, including Dangerous Money and Bells of San Fernando, and retired from show business in 1947.

gollark: What if the clothes are BOMBS?
gollark: Oh, and aeroplanes are somewhat less dangerous than cars, so if you discourage people from using airports via airport "security" and make them use cars instead, you're sort of causing additional deaths.
gollark: I'd want less "secure" travel, really.
gollark: Air travel is waaaay better than anything else for quite a lot of journeys, and trains, while sort of better, don't get implemented many places.
gollark: It's a shame that suborbital rocket travel is still so expensive.
