The Kid from Spain. Her second un-credited role was in what was likely the most famous motion picture in which she ever appeared; she was a Chorus Girl in the famed 1933 release,
42nd Street (film). As a member of the
Goldwyn Girls, her role as a dancer in
The Kid from Spain was praised in 1932. Over her career, Lacy starred in musicals and westerns, and
chorus girl. While in films, she worked with
Tex Ritter,
Hoot Gibson, and
Eddie Cantor. By 1938, with her last uncredited movie being back in 1936, her career had taken a different path. She was a special correspondent in
Shanghai, China for a news syndicate. However, this was a short term assignment since passenger lists show that she was back in
Los Angeles, California later in November 1938. ==Personal life==
