While at RKO Martha posed for glamour pictures which revealed that she had well-shaped legs and a good figure. She made several personal appearances on behalf of the studio but her career made little progress and she was stuck in Westerns. After Howard Hughes bought RKO, Martha's contract with the studio was not renewed in the early 1950s. For a time Martha struggled, and at one stage became a Conover model to make ends meet.

"Harry Guardino is outstanding as a fiery wolf who will take anything but a wife, and Martha Hyer, as the rich 'other woman,' is beautiful and skillfully competent. As one might expect, the moppets steal the show."

As an RKO contract player, Martha received drama lessons, voice lessons and guidance in how to pose for the camera. She was ... given "bit" parts in a variety of movies. Her first walk-on part was in "The Locket" which today is famous for its heavy over-use of flashbacks. (There is even a flashback within a flashback!). Another "bit" part was in "Born To Kill" (a.k.a. "Lady Of Deceit") which is now remembered for being relentlessly grim and unpleasant.
