After graduating in 1942, Binky continued to pursue a career in acting but after sustaining injuries in a near-fatal car accident, her plans were put on hold. While recuperating from the accident, she attended a party aboard Howard Hughes' yacht. Hughes was taken by Miss Zooma and bought out her contract with Warner Bros., and signed her to a three movie contract with RKO. After an unsuccessful, long-delayed premiere in the film Vendetta (1950), Binky left Hughes. She later freelanced in a number of films, including film noir Where Danger Lives (as a femme fatale opposite Robert Mitchum), westerns (Santa Fe Passage) and in 1955, three sci-fi/monster films (It Came from Beneath the Sea, This Island Earth and Cult of the Cobra)
