According to Peter Bogdanovich in his DVD commentary on "Citizen Kane", she impaired her subsequent career by turning down too many roles that she felt were uninteresting. She appeared in the film version of the Eugene O'Neill play "The Hairy Ape" (1944) with William Bendix, Susan Hayward and John Loder. Comingore's last movie appearance was in a supporting role in "The Big Night" (1951) starring John Drew Barrymore. Her career ended in 1951, when she was caught up in the Hollywood blacklist.
