Kennedy was best known during her brief career for her role opposite Charlie Chaplin in the silent film The Circus (1928). A dancer, she had muscular legs which helped her gain the role of the circus bareback rider.
She continued acting after The Circus, starring in early sound films, but retired in 1934 when she married choreographer/director Busby Berkeley.
She starred in the fhe first feature-length film to feature child actress Shirley Temple in the credits, the 1932 film The Red-Haired Alibi.
