In her early 20s, Stella worked at Bell & Howell in Chicago and, during that time, was invited to undergo a screen test by MGM Studios in Hollywood.

Together, she and Robert raised three children: Patricia, Ronald and Randall. and finally settled in Arizona in 1965. Stella retired from Arizona State University in 1983, where she worked as a secretary in both the Zoology Department and Registrar's Office . During retirement, she was active as a Republican precinct committee member and volunteer at Tempe Historical Museum. She also served as a member of Desert Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary.

She is survived by her three children, Patricia (William) Robinson of Mesa, Ronald (Kathleen) Collett of Tempe and Randall Collett of Tempe; six grandchildren, Bradley Robinson, Lora (Jim) Robinson, Jill (Tom) Connell, Ryan (Vanessa) Collett, Kacey (Tim) Frey and Cody Collett; and 11 great-grandchildren.

But where are they in Sydney?

Hello Margaret and Family We can't see exactly where they were for the camera shoot but the locations were the Domain or Botanical Gardens area here. Other photographs were taken in Stanley Street, East Sydney on the corner of Riley Street, and also in Martin Place. By the way, there is even a Warner Brothers film from 1928 of the Ingenues playing, on youtube!
