Gloria groeide op in Chicago en begon haar carrière in een filmstudio in Chicago, wanneer ze uit het publiek werd gehaald om een figurantenrol te spelen in de film The fable of Elvira and Farina and the meal ticket.
In 1916 kwam ze haar toekomstige man Wallace Beery tegen tijdens de opnames van de film 'Sweedie goes to College'. Ze trouwden en besloten te verhuizen naar Los Angeles. Na 1919 besloten Wallace en Gloria te scheiden. Daarna volgden nog vele huwelijken en scheidingen; Gloria versleet tot het eind van haar leven zeven mannen. Ze had onder meer in 1927- 1928 een romance met Joseph Kennedy (de vader van de latere president John F. Kennedy), die haar films The Love of Sunya en Queen Kelly financierde.
