Background
Blane was born in Salida, Colorado.
Blane was born in Salida, Colorado.
She appeared in over 70 movies. Blane had her film debut at the age of seven when she appeared in Sirens of the Sea in 1917. She returned to the film business as an adult in the 1920s, playing small parts in a number of silent films.
Her career continued into the 1930s when Blane appeared in a number of low-budget films, among them Once a Sinner (1930), A Dangerous Affair (1930), Arabian Knights (1931),, Hello Everybody! (1933),, Against the Law (1934),, and This is the Life (1935).
Some of her scenes, including one in Annabelle"s Affairs, in which she appeared in skimpy lingerie with Jeanette MacDonald and Joyce Compton, were quite risqué for their day, pre-dating the industry"s Hays Code that largely forbade such shots after 1934. The footage from Annabelle"s Affairs is considered lost.
Although her appearances tapered off toward the late 1930s, Blane eventually appeared in over 100 films. After that, Blane appeared in only four more movies in small supporting roles –,, Louisiana Fuga (1944) and A Bullet for Joey (1955).
Blane is interred in Culver City"s Holy Cross Cemetery.
