Lynch was born on April 6, 1900[1] in Billings, Montana, where she was also raised.[2] When she was one year old, her father died, and Lynch was raised along with her sister, Agnes, by their mother, Christian Fraser.[2]: 77 When she was 9 years old, the family relocated to Hollywood, California, which at the time was a small suburb of Los Angeles situated amongst orchards.[2]: 77-78
After working as a film extra, Lynch was chosen as one of thirteen WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1923.[1][2]: 77 During her career, she was mostly cast in comedies, and often portrayed gun molls and other controversial female characters.[1]
