Goldwyn signed Wright to a long-term contract after seeing her on Broadway in 1939 in Life With Father. As Mary Skinner (the part taken by the young Elizabeth Taylor in the film version), the 21-year-old Wright played "a refreshingly pretty small-town girl of 16". A year earlier, she had understudied Martha Scott in New York in the archetypal small-town play, Our Town, by Thornton Wilder, the screenwriter of Shadow Of A Doubt.

From the beginning of her Hollywood career, Wright displayed an independence that rankled her boss, the imperious Hollywood producer, Sam Goldwyn. Goldwyn fired her in 1948, claiming she was "uncooperative" for refusing to go to New York to publicize one of her films.
