She was born in Indiana and started her film career at four years old.[1] She also trained in dance with Anna Pavlova.[2] In 1915, the Buffalo Times noted her "portrayer of child screen roles is unrivaled".[3] Her salary in 1915 ranged from $100 to $400 per week (equivalent to $3,000 to $12,000 per week in 2023).[4] Oakland posed for a portrait by Emil Fuchs that was displayed in public exhibits and a gallery in 1916.[5][6]


She was featured in such Thanhouser Film Corporation's films as The World and the Woman (1916)[7] with Jeanne Eagels; and Always in the Way (1915) with Mary Miles Minter and Charlotte Shelby. In 1917 Oakland appeared with Jack Pickford in The Dummy produced by Famous Players–Lasky.[8][9] In 1917, Oakland played the leading role in The Little Rebel.[10][11]
