George M. Cohan's brunette daughter made her stage debut in his 1928 success Billie and later co-starred with her legendary father in the short-lived Frienship (1931). She made her screen debut a year earlier playing Will Rogers' daughter in Lightnin' (1930) and later co-starred opposite Regis Toomey in the 1932 potboiler The Penal Code. Although she was voted a 1934 WAMPAS Baby Star, her only subsequent screen appearance came in Kiss and Make-Up (1934), a Paramount programmer showcasing the year's bevy of "Babies." Cohan was married to Colonel Ralph Isham.
