She began her career in the 1930s acting under the stage name Nancy Haswin, before changing her stage name to Douglass in 1938. She was married to Lawrence Hurdle and also performed for a time as Nancy Hurdle. Her Broadway roles included parts in <span class=\"title\">The Devil of Pei-Ling</span> (1936), <span class=\"title\">Out of the Frying Pan</span> (1941), and <span class=\"title\">Bloomer Girl</span> (1944). She was an understudy in the Theatre Guild's touring production of <span class=\"title\">Ah, Wilderness!</span> (1935) and starred in the radio program <span class=\"title\">Dangerous Road</span> in 1938.
