She rose to prominence in the 1930s as the bratty young actress whobullied Shirley Temple in the film Bright Eyes (1934), which helped her land a contract with 20thCentury Fox. Withers also gave Temple a run for her money as that era's biggestchild star, often cast as the girl who could beat the boys at their own game. She had her first starring role in Ginger (1935), as an orphan who was far from helpless.
