Parker later said the "big break" of her career was when she was cast opposite John Garfield in "Pride of the Marines" (1945). "It was a great part, and who wouldn't look good with John Garfield", she later said. "He was absolutely wonderful." However, two films that followed with Errol Flynn, the romantic comedy "Never Say Goodbye" (1946) and the drama "Escape Me Never" (1947), were box office disappointments.
