A Broadway actress, Vogel teamed with Frankie Mack and together they became a very successful black-face team on stage and in films. Vogel, along with actress Jane Crowley, became known as “John Ford’s Rosebud Sisters" - though they were not related. Discovered by, he used them in every picture he filmed for 25 years, sometimes as a pair, sometimes only one of them was used. Both women were middle-aged, dark haired and of similar build. Vogel was often overlooked for film parts due to her heavy Southern accent.
