Swayne began her career with the Solax Studios in 1911 under the tutelage of Alice Guy-Blaché.
In 1917, J. Arthur Nelson, president of Dominion Film Corporation, announced that Swayne had signed a three-year contract to be the leading woman in that company's planned site in British Columbia.[1] She also acted for Gaumont Film Company and Mutual Film.[2]
Her film career ended in 1924, a few years before the silent film era ended. She performed on the stage as both Marian Swayne and Marion Swayne.[3] Her work on Broadway included portraying June Phelps in Clouds (1925).[4]
