The prize included a small part in the Hollywood film. While in Los Angeles Munro also played the lead role in a production at the Pasadena Playhouse of Dear Bill by Australian writer Jim Warwick. Munro returned to Australia, where she performed on stage in The Wind and the Rain for J.C. Williamson Limited.
She then received an offer to make Orphan of the Wilderness for Ken G. Hall at Cinesound Productions.
Her beauty and background caused her appearance in the film to be much publicised in the local media. Munro fell ill during shooting, helping cause the production to fall four days behind schedule.
Nonetheless, director Ken G. Hall was pleased with her performance and used her again in. In between these films she also appeared in for director Noel Monkman, which was shot on location in North Queensland.
Munro married in 1939 after which she appears to have retired.
