Selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1922, Starke starred in a number of films from 1916 to 1935. She had been introduced into the film industry by a friend following the completion of her education.

She first married producer/director Jack White in 1927 and later married actor George Sherwood. She died from the aftermath of a stroke on February 3, 1977 in Santa Monica, California.
