The first film the girls starred in was The Baby Cyclone opposite actor Lew Cody, in 1928.

On 29 August 1942, Claudette died when the flat she had moved into three days earlier at Marine Gate in Brighton was destroyed by a bomb during a German air raid of the city.

Less frequently, the girls performed roles apart from one another, as when Angela appeared in the 1930 John Barrymore film The Man from Blankley's.
