By 1943, at the age of 27, she was already playing mother roles, in such movies as A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Murphy landed her first job at Hollywood when she was 14, participating in a show named Drexell's Class.

Her first film was Claudia, in which she played the character she had originated on Broadway, that of a child bride who almost destroys her marriage through her selfishness. When she was nine years old, she landed a singing role on Les Misérables, and by the time she was 13, she already had a manager. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, she began her career on the stage.
