Among Hazard's early minor film roles include Bedtime Story (1941), The Powers Girl (1943) and The Lost Weekend (1945). Her first major role came in the 1945 crime film Strange Illusion.
Hazard was married to theater owner Lowell Jasper Thompson in May 1947[5] until June 1949, when she was granted a divorce following a serious injury to her father from an aircraft owned by Thompson. Thompson, a theater owner, was said to have shown "no concern or remorse" and also failed to visit Hazard in hospital when she later became ill.[6] In October 1951, Beverly Hills attorney Guy Edward Ward became Hazard's second husband,[2] with whom she had two daughters, both of whom were born dead.[7] [8]
