She was educated upon the stage for the five years she had spent in films, mostly before Edison cameras. Miss Trunnelle was a modest, cheerful, winsome young American wife whose husband was Herbert Prior.

She was a prominent star in early silent films of Edison Films, and frequently co-starred with Prior.
