MacDonald var blant de best betalte skuespillerne i 1920, og tjente ca $50 000 per film etter en kontrakt med First National. Hun oppnådde toppen av sin popularitet mellom 1920 og 1923. Men hun ble ansett som en av mindre talenter i filmindustrien, selv om hennes veldreide figur resulterte i kallenavnet «American Beauty».[4]
