In 1919, a producer visiting San Antonio met Ray and insisted she take a part in a film he was making. After this success her friends prevailed upon her to enter a contest held by one an East Coast magazine company. She was the winner from a field of candidates selected from throughout the United States.

Her screen credits include Cheval X, Honeymoon Ranch (1920),  West of the Rio Grande (1921) and Partners of the Sunset (1922). The latter she made for the Lubin Corporation.
