Goddard was born an only child in Whitestone Landing, New York to a Jewish father and an Episcopalian mother. She became a fashion model as a teenager, and a member of the Ziegfeld Follies at the age of 13 in 1924. Her stage debut was in the Ziegfeld revue production No Foolin' in 1926. The next year she made her stage acting debut in The Unconquerable Male. She married the Broadway writer Edgar James in 1926 or 1927, but divorced him in 1930.
