She co-wrote "I Taught Him Everything He Knows" with Arthur Kent; this song was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald on her 1968 Capitol release Misty Blue. She was the lyricist for the 1947 Broadway musical Barefoot Boy with Cheek.

Its nonsense lyrics included "Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la". At the time of her death in New York City, she was the wife of Dr. Jere Faison, a New York gynecologist.
