The niece of stage actress and director Auriol Lee, she took her first film role as a teenager in the 1934 British mystery-comedy The Lady Is Willing before signing a Hollywood contract.
Field first went to the US to appear in David O. Selznick's Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936). In the late 1930s, she appeared in various parts in 20th Century Fox's Mr. Moto film series. Field then played a ballerina alongside Vivien Leigh in Waterloo Bridge (1940), an estranged wife in Dorothy Arzner's Dance, Girl, Dance (1940) and Stuart-era performer Nell Gwyn in the historical Western Hudson's Bay (1941). She also performed in the noir genre, with films like Repeat Performance (1947), Dial 1119 (1950) and Appointment with a Shadow (1957).
