Background

Kingston was born as Natalia Ringstrom in Sonoma County, California and raised in San Francisco. She was of Spanish and Hungarian descent. She was a great-granddaughter of General Mariano Vallejo, who commanded the army which surrendered California to General John C. Fremont. Her mother was Natalia Haraszthy, granddaughter of Agoston Haraszthy, founder of California's wine industry. She was educated in San Rafael, California.[citation needed]

Dancer

As a child she learned to dance the Jota (music) and other traditional Spanish dances. She began law school but dropped out to take a course in dancing. Two seasons later Kingston performed as a danseuse with the New York City Winter Garden show. Later she joined a Fanchon and Marco troupe in California after they discovered her dancing in a San Francisco cabaret.[citation needed])

Actress

Starting her career as an actress on Broadway, she moved into films in the early 1920s. Her first movie appearance was in The Daredevil (1923). She joined the Mack Sennett studios in 1924, and co-starred with Harry Langdon in a series of comedy films including Remember When? (1925) and Her First Flame (1927). Kingston left the Sennett studio and comedies in 1926 to try for roles in dramatic movies. She signed with Paramount Pictures and made three motion pictures in quick succession. All three are comedies. The first was Miss Brewster's Millions (1926), the second The Cat's Pajamas (1926), and the third was Wet Paint (1926).

Kingston's first dramatic role was in Street Angel (1928). She played the part of Lisetta. The same year she made Painted Post with Tom Mix. In this film she portrays a magazine illustrator who is seeking western types. She gets caught up in an exciting feud in her search for them. As Dona Beatriz, Kingston was given a great opportunity in The Night of Love (1927). The movie featured Ronald Colman and Vilma Bánky.

She appeared in two of the popular Tarzan films: as Mary Trevor in Tarzan the Mighty (1928) and was the fifth actress to play Jane in Tarzan the Tiger (1929). The Tarzan serial, which co-starred Frank Merrill, was produced by Universal Pictures. After a series of roles in B movies she made her last film Only Yesterday (1933). She was uncredited in this movie.[citation needed]

Personal life

Kingston drove a Chrysler Royal coupé which she purchased from Greer-Robbins Company, a southern California distributor for Chrysler. The auto was purchased in March 1925.
