Her first known credit is in a Biograph short in 1915. She then became a contract player at Universal.

She was also kept busy at Columbia Pictures short subjects unit.She continued to play bits in feature films throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. She was briefly glimpsed as the first murder victim in the Sherlock Holmes adventure The Scarlet Claw and was among the ranks of dress extras in 1956s Around the World in Eighty Days. Her last appearance was in John Fords The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.In her later years, Astor was a welcome guest at several Sons of the Desert gatherings, and became an honorary member of the Way Out West tent.She died in Woodland Hills, California from a stroke. She is interred in the Abbey of Psalms in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, CA.
