Murdock debuted on stage in The Lion and the Mouse in 1908 in Pittsburgh. She also appeared in The Offenders in New York in 1908.[1] Her Broadway debut came in The Noble Spaniard (1909), and her final Broadway appearance was in The Three Bears (1917).[2]
Murdock's private life became public upon the death of Alf Hayman in 1921. Hayman had headed the Frohman theatrical operations after the death of Charles Frohman. When Hayman's will became public, it revealed that the bulk of his multimillion-dollar estate went to Murdock, with no bequests to his wife or his sisters. Hayman's widow expressed no desire to contest the will.[3]
On August 4, 1924, Murdock married Harry Carson Powers in Baltimore, Maryland. They were divorced in Paris on December 13, 1926.[4] Murdock married Hallam Keep Williams on August 28, 1928, in Rye, New York.[5] In May 1929, she sought a divorce from him.[6] On October 14, 1931, she married hotel manager Cavaliere Leone Calleoni in Milan, Italy.[1]
