Which Hollywood actress performed in Broadway musicals until she was discovered by RKO and made her film debut in the film Leathernecking?

Irene Dunne is still regarded as one of the greatest actresses who never received an Academy Award. According to some reviewers, her performances have been overlooked and mostly forgotten, eclipsed by film remakes and her more famous co-stars. Although Dunne once fled to London to avoid appearing in a comedy, she was lauded as one of the greatest comic actresses in the screwball genre.
