Turner was born in Albany, New York, where she graduated from Albany High School. She first came to the public's popular attention as a member of Daniel Frohman's company at the Madison Square Theatre on Broadway. While appearing in the successful Young Miss Winthrop it was revealed that she had married Albert J. His, a Swiss citizen. She retired from the stage for a time to move to Switzerland. After they divorced, His took their child back from the United States to Switzerland without approval, which caused a number of headlines.
