Pearson, an American actress of prominence, embarked on a fleeting foray into the realm of cinema. Hailing from Denison, Texas, she initially pursued a career in the entertainment industry by working as an usher in a movie theater and later as a model. It was her association with esteemed producer David O. Selznick that led to her introduction to the talented actor John Garfield, whose influence proved instrumental in securing her role alongside him in the 1948 film, Force of Evil.
Despite this early foray into film, Pearson's time on the big screen was limited, as she ultimately devoted herself exclusively to the world of theater, effectively retiring from the silver screen and dedicating her career to the stage.
