Biography
Little is known about Loring's early life, although she later told journalists she broke away from her parents when she was just 13. Born in Denver, Loring decided when she was 16 that she wanted to become a director.

She was also an accomplished violinist, and it was this talent that took her to New York City. While in NYC, she performed in an orchestra and also took on stage roles. She'd later appear as an actress in a number of silent films. After that, she secured a position as a stenographer for Al Kaufman; she then moved onto a script-girl position.

Before joining Famous Players–Lasky's editing staff in 1926, she edited movie trailers. In the early 1930s, she moved to RKO, where she edited films and worked as Pandro S. Berman's right-hand woman, sometimes working as an assistant director. She was good friends with Katharine Hepburn and edited many of Hepburn's films.
