She worked with many of the funny men of the day, including Harry Langdon and Chester Conklin. At the height of her career London weighed 255 pounds. Later, a heart condition necessitated a loss of 100 pounds, and her movie offers declined along with her weight. She never regained her earlier success. In the late 1950s London began a second career as a painter and devoted the last 20 years of her life to depicting on canvas the early years of Hollywood. She titled the series The Vanishing Era. London willed 75 of her paintings to the University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center, along with her personal belongings.
