No evidence of meeting WP:ENTERTAINER. One contemporary news account refers to her as an "accomplished actor", but this is a trivial mention. Although it's likely that there is some bias regarding online sources due to the era in which worked, a 1974 book claims that she never "achieved anything more than serviceable professional status in the ranks of film players", which is about the closest anything is ever going to come to flat out saying "she doesn't meet WP:ENTERTAINER", and suggests strongly that contemporary sources establishing notability don't exist.

 * Keep: The 1974 book also notes she was named an "English Baby Star" in 1934 in the same context. I don't know if English movie trade mags are online to the same extent that American ones are, but she would seem likely to meet notability standards based on what we can find online.--Milowent • hasspoken  03:09, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
