Early years

Her sister was film actress Alberta Vaughn.[2] Adamae was at first Alberta's manager and chaperone. When the studio needed a brunette, Adamae, a blonde, sent her sister.

Actress

Vaughn was named a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1927.[3] She was in nine movies between 1921 and 1936, including The Courtship of Miles Standish (1923) and The Last Edition (1925). Dancing Sweeties (1930) was produced by First National Pictures and Vitaphone and featured Sue Carol and Grant Withers. Vaughn played Emma O'Neil.

In September 1929, she appeared in the Warner Bros. revue The Show of Shows in a musical number featuring sisters who were actresses. Together with Alberta, she was featured with Dolores Costello, Helene Costello, Shirley Mason, Viola Dana, Loretta Young, Sally Blane, and others.

Marriage

She married Albert R. Hindman, a Los Angeles businessman, in May 1926.[4] They divorced in October 1927. A reconciliation scheduled for early 1928 was cancelled.[5]

In June 1934, Vaughn wed Hollywood automobile executive Joseph Valentine Roul Fleur D'Anvray[6] (also known as Viscount D'Anvray), who came from a noble family in Anvray, France. He was a French author and a representative of General Motors in Europe. After their marriage, Vaughn accompanied her husband to live in France. They divorced in October 1940.

Death

In April 1937, Vaughn underwent abdominal surgery, which left her with multiple adhesions. Complications from this operation eventually landed her in the Hollywood Hospital located in Studio City, California. Vaughn died on September 11, 1943, from an intestinal blockage.[citation needed]
