After leaving school she became a secretary and ``script girl'' for director Josef Von Sternberg. After clashing with Von Sternberg, White left his employment to work for Charlie Chaplin, who decided before long to place her in front of the camera. Her bubbly and vivacious persona led to comparisons with Clara Bow, but White's career was slow to progress. After playing a succession of flapper s and gold diggers, she attracted the attention of the director and producer Mervyn LeRoy who saw potential in her.
