boyfriend actor Jack Warburton and future husband Sy Bartlett. Although she later married Bartlett, her reputation was tarnished and she appeared only in supporting roles after this, including Jimmy the Gent (1934) with James Cagney and Bette Davis. By 1937 and 1938, her name was at the bottom of the cast lists. She made her final film appearance in Flamingo Road (1949) and eventually resumed working as a secretary. Personal life In 1933, Alice and her fiancé, American screenwriter Sidney "Sy" Bartlett were accused of arranging the beating of British actor John Warburton. Alice and Warburton had reportedly had a love affair that ended when he beat her so badly she required cosmetic surgery. A grand jury in Los Angeles decided not to charge Bartlett or White; however, the bad publicity hurt Alice's career. White married Bartlett on December 3, 1933, in Magdalena, Mexico. She filed for divorce in 1937 claiming he "stayed away from home" and was awarded $65 per week in alimony. White remarried, to film writer John Roberts, on August 24, 1940. They divorced on April 18, 1949, in Los Angeles. The following year, she sued him over unpaid alimony. Death White died of complications from a stroke on February 19, 1983, at age 78. She was buried at Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North Hollywood. Award White has a star at 1511 Vine Street in the Motion Pictures section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960. Filmography References External links Alice White singing and dancing in a clip from Show Girl in Hollywood (from YouTube).
