Although she was not a singer, she appeared in a number of early musicals,in which her singing voice was dubbed. One major film in which she did not appear was Gone With the Wind,although she shot a Technicolor screen test for the role of Belle Watling.Unfortunately, most of her later films were low-budget, even exploitation, efforts,although her acting was always competent.Compson's last film was made in 1948.
