Her tutor was Marchesi, who was known as one of the finest instructors of voice culture in his country. Myrtle did not enter the field of light opera because of her preference for light opera.

Her first appearances in movies were in Selig studio western and action short films. Among her feature films are Flaming Youth, The Valley of the Moon, The Dangerous Age, and The Famous Mrs. Fair. In 1936, she was signed by Warner Brothers to play bit and extra roles. Her last release was Accidents Will Happen, in 1938.
Myrtle Stedman died of a heart attack in Hollywood, California in 1938 at the age of 54. Interment at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood California.
