Long story short. She and Herb Kalmus (the true inventor of Technicolor) divorced in 1922. She did remain with him at Technicolor until 1948 (possibly a divorce settlement) when Herb decided to get married again and she filed a suit against him. No more movies after that.

The 50th anniversary book about The Wizard of Oz has nothing kind to say about her.
To me it looks like the gravy train ran out and she loaned her name to a line of sets marketed for the So Cal area where her name was famous...b@#$h notwithstanding. Famous no where else.
